I first saw this video on my librarian list-serve, plus a sexier man-in-the-shower one. They made me smile and appreciate all the creativity that is out there. I remember way back in 5th grade some classmates wrote a hilarious Star Trek parody. Now they would shoot a video so the world could see it instead of just the kids in their class. But a good video still requires a script, a storyboard and other forms of writing, so I don't think we need to fear the end of the written language. Will we eventually teach video composition in elem. + middle schools along with written composition? Or will some students pick it up on their own and others be left without, as in the digital divide.
