Hey Jeff, great find here. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know of anywhere we could find a list of all of these Google tips – not in video form but in text so it can be quickly scanned?

Thanks for sharing the video.
I think it raises many questions for educators such as:

How much remixing is required to make it new?
How can teachers build literacy skills with their students?
and perhaps the biggest question is how to we get teachers to know they even need to make digital literacy a priority in their already over stretched day?
