Some quick thoughts from a session on using video….
– We need research data on the effectiveness of video, so if you have any, please post and share. A lot of us have good anecdotal and qualitative data, but we need more quantitative data.
-Instead of teacher ed programs focusing on classroom video of best practices (which has its merit), how about having teacher’s create videos with the key points of their lessons for students to watch? This has the benefits of getting teachers to really think through what the salient points of a lesson are as well as having the side benefits of creating tons of great content. (Make sure to post to your end work so we can all use it.)
– If possible, license your educational video under Creative Commons so that we all can share.
