I thought that this article beautifully captured the potential of video in schools. Students documenting their own learning does seem like a great idea, and having their progress and triumphs on an easily accessible database seems like a wonderful prospect! The financial side would be difficult, though, in that it seems that nearly every student would need a camera, or at least multiple ones for every class. Though they're relatively inexpensive, that would still add up.
I also liked what he had to say about diverse learners--that perhaps filming progress rather than relying on letter grades would encourage those students for whom test taking is a difficult prospect. I want a camera in my classroom! :)
