Filming in the Classroom

By filming myself teach and then going back and reviewing the film I am able to see many tendencies and habits that I am not aware of at the time I am teaching. Also, when I am giving specific feedback to an individual student it is hard to keep my eye on the rest of the class. When I watch the tape I can see how the other students are behaving and then come up with some ideas on how to keep them occupied while I help individual students. When I am teaching a lesson it is usually just going very fast with all the kids running around and me trying to teach them a specific skill. If I have that on tape I can take everything in and see what does and doesn't work and how I can be a more effective teacher.

iMovie

I really enjoyed my imovie experience. It took way more time than I would've wanted but I think that each time I use it the process will speed up. I can see how useful it will be in the classroom setting. I look forward to using it throughout my teaching career.
