Week 9

Reading Bob Sprankle's article Caught on Video really opened my eyes to how many different ways a video camera could be used in the classroom. I had never thought about so many of those uses. I really like the idea he had of recording students explaining how they solved a problem at the beginning of the unit and at the end so they can see not only their change in progress, but also their change in thought process. I also liked the idea of recording class so students who miss are able to watch it and keep up. I know this is used at the college level, but I have never really seen it at the elementary through high school level and think it could be very valuable.
