Video

After reading her insightful Edutopia article "Student-Created Videos in the Classroom," I was excited to sit down with Courtney Sears, a North Carolina elementary school teacher who has discovered innovative ways to help activate student voice. We chatted about how she has brought video projects into her classroom, and the enthusiasm it has inspired in both students and fellow educators. Enjoy this conversation, in which Sears shares the rewards and challenges she has discovered as she continues to develop this fun and engaging teaching tool.
