We are the Champions- The Contest

In a thinly veiled guise as a teachable moment, I had asked my students in the Intro to Journalism and Mass Communication class to come up with a video of them playing Queen's We are the Champions song. Why? Since the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl, I had been playing a different version of the song 5 minutes before each class. The first day, we heard the Gregorian Chant's version, then Green Day's take. With 110 students, I figured surely more than a few of them could do as well if not better.

For the record, this is completely voluntary. No grades are attached to this exercise that demonstrates the ease of disseminating a message to the masses. However, there is a prize that has yet to be determined, but assuredly will be worth all the trouble.

Let me know what you think. Play nice.
