Teacher-created
1. Create a video about how the electromagnetic spectrum relates to electron energy. I would video flame tests and also use graphics (either mine or from other sources) to help explain this concept.
2. Another podcast that I would like to construct would demonstrate stoichiometry--first using a chemical experiment and then demonstrate the mathematical process step-by-step.
Student-created
1. Students could team to make a video demonstrating examples of a gas law in everyday experiences after learning about gas laws in class and doing experiments that relate to gas laws.
2. Create a video that demonstrates the impact that chemistry has on our lives in specific areas such as consumer products, medicine, industry, environmental issues, etc.

I like the idea of you making films about the "difficult" concepts you teach - and there are so many ways you can use it too. Of course, you could use it during direct instruction to help capture interest - especially if the film experiment creates some surprise. I can also imagine the same video being watched by students individually on an iPod, and being used for review too. Seems after a year or so, you would have quite a collection ... and students could contribute to that collection as well, like the gas law example you listed. My favorite are "clay-mation" anything. Can you make a clay-mation chemical bond or something about the periodic chart.
I image we'll be seeing some cool things in the near future! The new "Mr. Wizard."
