The power of video for students to self assess behaviours

Videoed my students the other day. They were in their teams and one person in their team was to relay some information about the game

I videoed the this process. After we watched the video we looked at active listening skills

Describe your listening skills

Consider your body language, eye contact, active listening

What effect did this have on the group

I found that once the students could see themselves they realized the importance that their body language has. Video is  great way for students to reflect on their behaviour. Teachers are always giving students verbal feedback on their behaviour. It is far more powerful I believe for the students to see their behaviour
