Excellent! I now plan to order the print version. I’m sure that was the intention when I was offered free access to the ebook version.

I received a free copy of this ebook as a winner of a Goodreads giveaway.
This book outlines uses of video technology in classroom teaching professional development. It is not written in an interesting or engaging way, and to me all the strategies seemed super obvious. But it would be a helpful manual if you are just beginning to implement these strategies without prior background in video-based professional development. The appendix had major display issues on my older kindle.

Great tool for PLCs

It makes more sense for us to use video for improving learning, the book helps you figure out how to, when to and the way to!
