EDTPA is coming: Video makes embodied practices visible
Dr. Bing Xiao & Martha Dickerson Eriksson
Abstract
In this age of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Go-Pro cameras, video has become a part of everyday life for young adults—including those who enroll in teacher education programs. As technology advances, video recording and editing is becoming much easier and less expensive, and people are able to share images and videos with anyone over the Internet— anytime and anywhere. Video technologies are also being used increasingly in teacher preparation, to record classroom practices, to record and present exemplary teaching practices, to facilitate reflection, and for teacher assessment and certification.
