Filming Reflection

Filming myself teach and then reviewing the film can help me become a better teacher. This is what we do in class and it is really helpful for me to see. Watching myself teach on film is very helpful, although I don't really like hearing my own voice. It lets me see how I actually teach. I can see what I look like, what things I do well, and what things I need to improve on. I think self evaluation using film is important for teachers. It is the easiest way to get feedback on your lessons. I will be able to improve my teaching from the feedback I get from watching myself teach.

imovie: The finished product



I enjoyed making this video. I have never used imovie before, but it really wasn't very hard to figure out. Using instructional videos in class would help students grasp concepts better than just reading about it. It is better for students to see the correct form for skills. Basically all lessons and activities in physical education would be enhanced by instructional videos and technology. When I am a teacher i can implement such technology in my own class. I can have students watch an instructional video before performing the skill or activity. This would help them perform and would allow me to use technology in my class.
