Now That the Editing is Complete

Reflective Post #3:
Now that I have edited my teaching video, I have learned many important details regarding my teaching. I have learned that I tend to talk quickly and I also teach while moving my hands. One thing that I need to focus on is trying to slow down. When teaching my lessons, I have so much important information to teach, that I tend to rush through it so that I can get everything done. The video demonstrates my ability to teach a lesson on rapid changes to a 3rd grade class. It also shows many fun and engaging activities that the students completed during the lesson. It shows the students as they are participating in the lesson by answering questions, making a model of the Earth's layers, and demonstrating an earthquake on their desks. The video demonstrates my ability to explain the content area of the lesson to the students and their responses while doing so. I have learned a great deal through watching and editing my teaching video, and look forward to improving my teaching strategies next semester during Quest 3.
