[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't each teacher record a short video(~3-5min) of them teaching a class and play the recording in person on BTSN? That way parents see the teaching "style". Most parents of HS students do not attend the Open House day (typically held on Indigenous day in Oct) when they can sit in on their kid's classes, so a video on BTSN can give them a glimpse into teacher's instructional style albeit 3-5 min is not much. The rest of the 10-15 minutes btsn can be for seeing the classroom and putting face to name of teacher.[/quote]

Highly-regarded with a ton of experience here. I would have absolutely no idea what to record. 3-5 minutes wouldn’t give you a clear indication of what goes on in my class. Should I lecture? But then you don’t see what the kids are capable of. Should I show group work? But then you don’t get to see me teach. Should I record a class discussion/ seminar? And what if you make assumptions about my teaching style that are WAY off because you only saw a small glimpse of what I do?

BTSN is already exhausting and stressful for teachers. We’re already working long hours just trying to keep up with our obligations. Recording this video would just dump on more.
