Persuasive Video on Cell Phones and Schools

I created this video for my presentation at the MACUL conference tomorrow in Grand Rapids, MI. I would love some feedback on it. The goal is to give a perspective of educational history and technology, where common technology tools (such as a chalkboard or pen or even Internet) were once banned and labeled "harmful" as we are doing with cell phones.

Enjoy!



Update: Here is the
Link to video
on TeacherTube...Enjoy!

Great job! simple, effective, to the point. I think you get your point across simply through the presentation with no discussion necessary. Keep up the good work--your blogs are really incredible. I really never thought about the many uses of cellphones in the edusphere.

Nice job, Liz. I saw you speak at MACUL (Celphones as Learning Tools) and it was excellent. Keep up the good work and keep us up to date on the new toys -> tools you discover.

Good design and development and strong content. Its power is its simplicity.

Would you consider uploading it to TeacherTube, YouTube, blip.tv, etc., so that it could be more widely distributed?

I love your posts. I read them from my computer and iPhone. I would love if you would add a link to your videos in another format so I could view them from by iPhone.
Thanks.
