My Class Responds: Today's College Students

I am teaching a course called "Transfer Readiness" this spring.  A standard task I have asked students to consider is to look at things such as

• A Youtube.com video, "A Vision of Students Today" (here is this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o&feature=player_embedded)
• Beloit College's freshman "Mindset" (here is the link: http://www.beloit.edu )
• The Beloit "Mindset" video (here is the link for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nOSJZLFZWbs).

After looking at this three things, I put my class in teams, and tell them: create you own video that has the faculty at the university to which you plan to transfer as your audience. I give them a week and they bring the videos to class and share them.  Here are the videos from this Spring 2013 class:
