In teaching, moments with students come and go. I reflect on the successes and missed opportunities, but can't watch and learn as much from my lessons unless I record them. I will analyze and reflect on my teaching with the intent of increasing student learning. I'll use video segments in my 2nd National Board Certification renewal, then loan the equipment to colleagues who need to videotape lessons when working toward their own National Board Certification. The Swivl C Series Robot will enable me and my colleagues to use our own devices to easily record interactions with the whole class, individuals and small groups.
