[ED-TECH] Student created videos?

Ed-Tech list members,

I am looking for people whose students create videos as part of their classwork. I am using "video" very loosely: anything that is delivered in a video file format, whether filmed with a camera or not.  If your students create videos as part of their classwork please let me know so I can talk with you.
