Video Feedback Booth

I helped design and build a mobile video feedback booth and aligned several tasks to curriculum standards for the Durango Public School District. Here’s my drawing of this (now seemingly ancient) device. The concept is still highly effective and can easily be applied to any relevant technology.

At first, students were either shy or hams, but eventually, the shy kids grew to like it or love it and the hams calmed-down and took-on more serious pursuits. Students self-recorded their face and voice individually or in groups, reflecting on past events, talking aloud about a paper they might write, they told stories instead of writing papers, they gave their opinions of various subjects or events. For individuals or in groups, the applications were endless, especially for young learners exploring new voices and identities.
