A new kind of personal cinema (vodcasting) is being produced, generating a new "image" economy in the Knowledge Society. Such an event justifies a rethinking of audiovisual in education, mainly as a form of expression, where the camera is taken up by the students. Moreover, in this digital global world, building one's own identity has become even more complex. Vodcasting, by its accessability, can bring about new ways of building it, as well as new relationships to knowledge. We present the study of an autobiographical activity - a one minute videogram presentation of oneself in which 115 videograms have been produced and placed in digital portfolios. Brief reflections were demanded from the students, and subjected to content analysis as well as the videograms. The experience was considered to be very positive with knowledge and skills acquired (multiliteracies). A high level of personal satisfaction was declared.
