Abstract

How to help teachers learn productively from each other and practice teaching in authentic contexts has been among critical problems in teacher learning. Many have offered online communities and video technologies for teachers to develop their professional expertise, for example, share records of or commentary on their practice, get feedback from expert teachers, view and comment on video records of instruction. Rich-media technologies, especially animations however, have not been considered carefully in the design of communities of teaching practice. We believe that rich-media technologies can play a key role in teacher education because it can engage teachers as producers, not just as consumers, of instructional stories: they can compose, share, and discuss their own stories of teaching. In this poster, we show rich-media applications for teachers to view, comment on, and discuss animated movies of instructional stories, to propose alternatives of those stories, to compose new stories, and to discuss alternative solutions with peers.
