But, you’re probably asking, “What is Swivl?” Swivl is a robot, essentially. A base unit follows a tracking unit via infrared signals, a device sits on top, and an app allows for front or rear-camera video recording. (You can also use it with slideshows and such – not worried about that here).

I’m not kidding – I’ve been laughing and smiling yesterday and today. Why? Several reasons:

1. the power of self-reflection
2. the ability to create your own teacher observation, and
3. how cool is this technology!

My student teacher was out sick yesterday, so today was her first interaction with Swivl. She was in awe just as much as I was! This will obviously make her video-taped observations much easier, and it will allow her to videotape herself with little outside help/interference.
I’ve got a lot to learn about how best to use Swivl, and I’ll post more later. But I’m still smiling!
