Sounds like a great class. For general resources, I'd point you a few
online syllabi/course websites related to your course. They don't
specifically deal with social justice, but might be helpful:

I'm sorry that you've had hard financial times. I could go into the
financial straits my family and I have endured as well, but I don't
think that's the point. I don't think the hardship of living out of a
car is still any kind of justification that art is best served within
commodity culture.
Rupert's absolutely correct, of course. In addition, ever since the
advent of the moving image, there have been "outsiders" making moving
image art - from magic lantern producers in the 1800s to 16mm
avant-garde filmmakers and 8mm home movie enthusiasts mid-century and
video artists in the 1970s a
I think what I'm still not quite getting - and what Rupert and Brook
and Verdi have addressed - is why getting paid is such an important
outcome? Is it compensation for dealing with the haters? Or is it to
give the work some kind of palpable worth that it doesn't have
otherwise? Certainly (stree
This is very cool; I look forward to playing with these templates.
There's another similar project that's just been launched that I
thought I should share, called snstncntnrs. It provides a pretty
intensely edited XML or EDL file that you can then associate with your
own three videos with pretty
I'm a big fan of the Freesound Project, http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/,
a CC-licensed database of user-submitted audio, mostly by audiophiles
from around the world. Not the best for finding specific sound
effects necessarily, but lots of great ambient sounds, some fx, sound
art, etc.

The Panasonic is a sweet camera and would be a great investment for
more high-end video productions, but I don't see it as a practical
choice for vlogging--it's not exactly the kind of "take it anywhere"
camera (or at least I wouldn't feel comfortable using it that way).
Same, really, with the XL-
I echo all these points put forth by Adrian and Brook and Rupert. I'm
often approached by filmmakers in my department (I'm a grad student in
film) who are curious and interested in videoblogging, but lack the
skills and time to devote to getting one up and running, and then
maintaining it, especia
