GoReact is now part of Echo360!
Teacher Education
A short video clip explaining how GoReact empowers candidates to self-reflect, collaborate with peers, and engage in meaningful feedback with cooperating teachers
GoReact transforms faculty and peer engagement by giving interns the tools to tag, reflect, and validate their own growth. This strengthens their ability to learn with and from others. Watch the full presentation here.
Kristina DeWitt:
So for the faculty and peer engagement and feedback, I think that GoReact has just really amplified what we can do with our interns and what they can make sense of based on how we have tagged and coded different things. I am somebody who is very old school, new school, I like that they still can view something and then write a reflection, but I also am so intrigued by the AI features that Ms. Templeton’s going to talk about here in a second because I believe that before we started using GoReact, the intern thinks they’re saying what they’re supposed to say and making sense of what they think they’re supposed to, but when they are able to go back and watch it through this program, tag it with these markers, they now can prove to themselves that I do know what I thought I know, and they can do that multiple times.
Crossing over to being able to do that with peers, being able to watch a peers video and find these markers as well helps in that collaborative process. As we know, we’re not on the ground in the school by ourself. There are other teachers on our grade level team, our subject team or discipline team, and that really has helped them to make sense of that. It also with our cooperating teachers, that classroom teacher where they’re in their classroom, I’ve had a couple of experiences where that CT is what we call them, watched the video with the intern to say, okay, so watch get ready. You’re going to see you did something positive or something that’s a grow that we need to work on. Okay, watch again, watch it again. Okay, now let’s put those together. So if they didn’t have this component with GoReact and recording this video, that teacher, that CT on the ground wouldn’t be able to do that. They could share, I observed you do this. It appears that you did this well again five minutes later or that you missed the mark on such and such. Now they’re able to actually have something to follow with the data collection that they can see and then they can make sense of it.
