Brenden Kee:

I am in the education space and as a teacher of teachers, we use it for discussion on what we see teachers do. So what our educators do in the district is they’ll record a video of how they teach, and we have what’s called look fors or things that we’re trying to see regarding the pedagogy of teaching. What are teachers doing properly? How do they have class management or the lack thereof, or how are they teaching a topic on education? This is great because the teachers, they can upload a video and we can create a discussion on whether it was positive or whether we need to some plus or delta kind of things. I also really think that this works well other than just a simple discussion post, because one, it can be a one-to-one conversation between a coach and the teacher.

That’s a safe space in itself. Everyone doesn’t have to know where the corrections need to be. Everyone doesn’t have to know where you might’ve fallen short or where you might have your own questions. And the benefit of this being a safe space is that it can stay between you two. Now, if it was a group or a class discussion, kind of like what we do, it can also be open to the whole cohort of teachers or individuals. So I think having that ability with GoReact is amazing. Secondly, as a coach in the education sector, there are timestamps that you can use. So sometimes if you upload a long video and someone says, well, you talked about this here, it was great or You did this here, it was, okay, well where at what point in the video, what time when does it need? What are you talking about? Well, with GoReact when the event happens. Exactly. You can pause the video and start typing what do you want to say and how you want to say it, which is amazing to me. So I think in the end when we’re talking about digital spaces, safe digital spaces, it being a one-on-one tool works amazing, but then also having that option to bring it into a broader spectrum of people, it works. It works for the whole class or it works for the whole cohort that you’re a part of.
