Pick one: Video is hot. Video is cool. Video will change education. Video is the next wave. Those are the kinds of things you hear people saying and blogging about.

As Lee Corso says on ESPN Gameday, “Not so fast, my friend!”
Like most things in life, video isn’t as good as you hope, nor as bad as you fear. It’s something most faculty members don’t understand, but most students are comfortable with. It’s something we’re all going to have to deal with and embrace… but we have to find ways to use it for good, not for evil.
