The potential of video is limitless. It is one of the best ways of storytelling. With the popularity of applications/ social media that uses video, like snapchat and vine, the younger age groups are more knowledgeable and comfortable using video as a creative outlet. Using these popular applications, educators can connect with the students and know what their creative interests are.

Video is also a great way for students to collaborative. It takes a writer, videographer, actors, producers, and editors to make a video. It gives options for students to choose what their roles are in the video making process. So if a student is not comfortable using a camera to film, but he/she is a great writer, they can write the script. The collaborative environment of making a video also can help students interact with other students and understand how to 'compromise' within a group that may have different ideas among the students.
