What struck me the most is how professional looking the finished product looks. And with your observation that the program was relatively easy to use, I think students would be really excited to use this program and about what they are able to produce. I liked your idea of using it for narratives. I think students would have a lot of fun turning their narratives into videos like these and because it privileges visuals more than just text, students would have to think about how to visually represent their story. I'm curious about the amount of music selection. Choosing the right "mood music" could be a powerful tool in translating an essay into a multimedia project, but if there isn't much selection, that could put a damper on things.

In terms of the reading, I completely identify with your notion that "sleeping on it" really works. It amazes me how many times I am stuck on something or am not making much progress on something, but when I return to it the next morning, it seems so much easier or I am so much more productive. It's nice to know science backs up my own observations of my working process.
