Abstract: In this workshop we provide an overview of new tools, techniques and models for recording and using digital video to strengthen evaluation of student performance or reflecting on one’s own practice. First we will demonstrate some essential practices for capturing good video and audio in the classroom. Attendees will practice with “micro” studios that use small cameras, including smart phones or iPod Touches with discreet tripods or clips to capture video with little impact in the classroom. Different microphone options will be explored, including wireless. We will demonstrate robot camera mounts from Swivl and Canon to combine media presentation with instructional recording. Second, we present different post production techniques and process workflows that can scale in teacher preparation programs. Third, we will present hosting solutions from Vimeo and EdThena that teachers and candidates can use to reflect on performance and distribute video.

Objectives

Attendees will: 1. Learn how to record good quality video with good audio in university and K-12 classrooms with low impact on the teaching context. 2. Learn how to edit and process the video for use in reflection, performance assessment, and professional development. 3. Learn how to use video meta reflection as a discursive editing technique resulting in voice narration on edited video. 4. Use video annotation systems for collaborative, framework-driven analysis.
