Second Draft of Paper Intro Video

My brother and I have been discussing a slightly different approach to the "video trailer" for our research papers. We are both big fans of TED and thought it might be interesting to take that approach. TED has become increasingly popular and their tag line, "Ideas Worth Spreading" seemed to apply to what we're doing in our class. Also, just as TED talks are abbreviated versions of people's larger bodies of work (books, extensive studies, etc), our intro videos are abbreviated versions of our 10 page research papers.

This is a pretty rough draft but we think it is an approach that might be worth considering as a class. If each student prepared a 90 second presentation on their paper and presented in an auditorium setting we could place those videos all together on one webpage and then include links to the individual papers.
