Video Reflection: Observation of Learning Experience Plan

Teaching a learning experience is one thing. Seeing yourself teach a learning experience is another.
Watch the video recording of your learning experience plan. Reflect on your teaching practices as an
objective observer. Include observations in every section, including comments in both the strengths and
areas for improvement.

Final Reflection…What surprised you the most watching yourself teach? Did the video of your
teaching practices reflect how you see yourself as an educator? Why or why not?
What surprised me was that I was engaged with them and didn’t let anything distract me.
I was doing the activity with the children and talking to them the whole time. I didn’t look
away and showed that I was interested in what I was doing without even trying. It
reflected on how I see myself cause I saw that I was passionate about what I was doing.
