For example, at one of our elementary schools, a teacher shared with me that, knowing she had to be absent for a couple of hours one day to attend a school workshop, she decided to use the video capture feature of her document camera to record the procedure for doing long division problems. She left the video clip on a classroom computer and instructed the substitute to just hit “play” when they reached the math lesson. Upon her return the next morning, the teacher learned that the students loved the clip and had replayed it a number of times and begged her to play her “movie” again when it was time for math. They replayed it a number of times and would pause and work on a section at a time; they used the slider bar to move to a specific point in the clip, discussing the how’s and why’s, helping each other. These students had really taken ownership of their learning. Their improved individual grades attested to the success.
