"Man on the Street" Videos
The "Man on the Street" video is a great approach to engage students, helping them to make connections between the course content and real life.
This video supplements material that is covered in my regular video series - actually, this four-bullet list of characteristics is something that I forgot to cover in the original video plan. With a little help from a friend who agreed to hold the video camera, I was able to give a quick mini-lecture AND fill up my gas tank!

This video isn't about course content, but rather about using media as a way to convey messages (emergency or otherwise) to your students. There was no actual H1N1 emergency (although that was all over the media at the time!), but this clip demonstrates the potential usefulness of a quick, off-the-cuff message coupled with free video editing software to overlay the course website URL.
