“Raw Video” as Text
This type of session uses one or more select portions of unedited class footage to give instructors a common experience to explore and discuss, providing the opportunity for participants to more actively construct meaning and contribute their expertise. On this page, you will find a link to a session plan of a sample teaching workshop that leverages raw clips, as well as the two raw clips featured in that session. Feel free to adapt this session plan for use in your own setting, and hopefully it can also serve as inspiration for using our Raw Clips Library to create your own professional learning opportunities.
