This paper describes a prototype of a development project for practicum classes in the Hong Kong Institute of Education. An in-house development of a streaming video system is used for improving student teaching by building a digitized video database from a variety of sources. The main objective is to develop an interactive web-based video…

This paper establishes a use for digital video in developing preservice teacher metacognition about the teaching process using a lesson plan-rating sheet as a guide. A lesson plan was developed to meet the specific needs of the methods instructors in a professional development program at a large public institution. The categories listed on the…

The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in evaluation of an educational interactive video program between high school students and their parents over a 4-year time span. High school students participating in the interactive video program were surveyed during 5 semesters. Survey instruments were also sent to parents via…
