My students in Online Journalism experimented with a new site that let’s you upload video clips, edit and publish videos, with a twist. Not only can you mix up your own video from your clips, Stroome is collaborative and social, designed to let you share your clips or use the clips of other people, to create video based narratives.

It is hard for J students to think about a narrative that is to be constructed out of the work of others, but remixed to express new ideas. Stroome was also in beta. We struggle through, however, and you can see the results. In fact, you can see them and remix them if you like. Not sure just what remix is? Check out Henry Jenkins reviews of a slew of famous e.g. viral remixes or the work of GirlTalk.
