Abstract

Advances in technologies have generated a new range of possibilities for teaching, learning, and professional development with digital video. Planning and editing meaningful video is a process that engages learners with an extended cognitive challenge and promotes critical thinking and reflection. Extensive hours of classroom videotaping can be summarized, organized, and presented in more succinct and meaningful forms. Growth can be visualized, reviewed and documented for authentic assessment or portfolio development. Resources once considered impossible to develop can now be created using a laptop. Integrating digital tools to facilitate collection and editing of video simplifies the process of creating meaningful instructional materials or selecting representative samples of teaching performance. This paper presents two approaches to integrating digital video tools with preservice teachers to support their development as instructional designers and reflective practitioners.
