  • video-based observation as a form of development

  • how videos can foster more critical reflection

  • using video recordings in both the physical and digital classroom

  • why every teacher should record their own lessons - and then watch them

  • how video observation can be incorporated into pre-service training courses

  • why video observation reduces the hierarchical relationship of traditional observation and how it can foster community building 

  • advice for new educators just getting started
