Videotaped Lesson |

|
You
will each videotape yourselves teaching a lesson at your fieldwork site. First,
you will need to arrange this with your cooperating teacher at the beginning
of the term. Second,
this does not have to be an original lesson created by you,
though that would be ideal. Consult with your cooperating teacher about this
possibility. The real point is for us to see how you teach, not
what you teach. Third,
the length of the tape is not important; what is important is that you have a
complete lesson with a beginning, middle and end. When you
tape, try to keep the camera focused on you. These tapes will (1) not be
shown to anyone not enrolled in this course but (2) will be included on your
course portfolio CD, so permission slips probably aren't necessary. However,
if your cooperating teacher thinks you should get parental permission, then do so. Arranging
the time and the taping equipment is your responsibility. The Ed. Studies
Department does have a couple of cameras you can use, but you will need to
purchase the tape to record on. You will need to sign out the Department's
camera through Peggy. (Keep in mind that there are a lot of you between this
class and the elementary classes, so the earlier you make your arrangements,
the better!) You are, of course, welcome to provide your own camera, use one
belonging to your school, or whatever, so long as we can playback and project
your performance and so long as the tape can be moved to a CD. (Basically,
that means you probably need to use the MiniDV
camera. Knox doesn’t have the equipment to download other kinds of
recordings.)
