The video I developed was more for recruiting students into a program than introducing new subjects, but I could see how that would make it more engaging. I also really liked the idea of having them use it for poetry, not being a lyrical genius myself, it would be very cool to see what students come up with putting images to their poetry or even using poems (especially something short like a Haiku) that already exist and asking them to 'interpret' those poems by adding images. I also agree with Laura that the song selection leaves something to be desired, but I guess that is something that if you really needed more choices you would then have to purchase the Pro version.
Keeping the thought of using it for recruitment, it might be interesting to have students at the end of the course create one highlighting what they learned in the course and then those videos can be shown to new students at the beginning of the next semester. Although it's not recruiting, it could be a great way to retain students or get them more engaged.
I think this is a really great tool because it is simple and easy to use, can be applied to online and in-class teaching several ways, and could be used as a teaching tool or as a fun assignment for students.
