Video Taping While Teaching

How could filming myself teach and reviewing the film help me become a better teacher?"

This is a very good question. I can only answer yes to this question because it seems like the very obvious answer. If you are teaching, you have an idea of how well your lesson went after you are done teaching that particular lesson. You may think that you did a few things wrong and/or right but after you watch yourself give that very same lesson; you might change your opinion about things. After you observe yourself teaching by videotaping; you then allow yourself to see yourself from the outsiders perspective. Or rather how everyone else sees you as a teacher. This can be very good because it will let you see little minute details that you might not otherwise see if you didn't videotape yourself teaching. Once you have evaluated yourself from the angle of the student then you can implement those things that you need to work on in your future lessons; therefore ultimately making you a better teacher for the long hall. Whoever thought about using videotaping as a teacher improvement resource was a very innovative person. I look forward to continuing to teach and evaluating my teaching and also continuing to get better!!
