Thoughts for a Short Week

I've been out of town, so this has been a short week (holidays Tuesday and tomorrow). However, at my High Yield Application workshop this morning, one of the participants had a private conversation with me about the power of video in showing teachers modeling pieces and what it looks like to explicily teach a strategy to students. We talked about having some of the modeling pieces in our trainings videoed (like David Hyerle did in his Visual Tools materials).
(Note to self: I need to look at our video camera with a serious eye to seeing whether it has the mic and the firewire and, if it doesn't, then I need to find one that does (so I can get moving with this aspect of podcast staff development).
