10. Analyzing a Video: One Approach
Find a quiet place and bring your video.
First watch the video in its entirety. Your objective is to decide if there is a segment that is usable or if the entire clip needs to be abandoned.
When you’ve found the segment that you want to use, watch it 4 different times.
Focus: Your teaching
Focus: Learning environment
Focus: Dialogue (Transcribe or close eyes.)
Focus: Standards

Your Teaching
The focus is pedagogy and content knowledge. Don’t take anything for granted. Why do you walk around the room? Why did you use a handout/chalkboard/overhead projector?
Learning Environment
How do you interact with the students? How do they interact with one another? How do you know they are engaged? Consider body language and facial expressions.
Dialogue
Listen intently to what you say and what the students say. Find a connection to your goals/objectives and that of the entry in general.
Standards
Note the standard(s) being met as a result of your teaching, the learning environment, and dialogue.
