Synergistic Activities
BRIDGE: Building Resources: Induction and Development for Georgia Educators
Sean Hendricks is the project manager for the BRIDGE, a website devoted to the professional development of Georgia teachers, from beginning teachers to experienced teachers. The BRIDGE provides a place for teachers to share their experience and knowledge with other teachers. One way is to provide a publicly-available "file cabinet" where teachers can submit their resources online and have those resources placed in a searchable archive. These resources are assessed through a quality assurance system composed of editors and volunteer reviewers, all of whom have experience as teachers themselves. Beyond the sharing of documents and websites, however, the BRIDGE provides a way for teachers to communicate in groups through forums and chat clients, allowing teachers to provide support for each other across the state.
VAT: Video Analysis Tool
Sean Hendricks is currently working with the Learning and Performance Support Laboratory at the University of Georgia to retool the interface design for the Video Analysis Tool, a web-based application for analyzing video recordings of classroom interactions. These video recordings can be uploaded as files, or recorded through networked video cameras located in participating classrooms.
Engaging Students in Argumentative Discourse
Sean Hendricks has been part of a research team at the University of Georgia, headed by Daniel Hickey, whose primary purpose is the development of student and teaching materials designed to help engage students in argumentation. His primary role has been in the development of Flash-based animated video rubrics for modeling argumentation and providing a way to help students reflect on and rate their own argumentation.
Streaming Video to Enhance Feedback to International Teaching Assistants
Sean Hendricks has worked with a project at the University of Georgia that is designed to assist in the training of international teaching assistants in instructional communication. This project, headed by Don Rubin, involved the use of streaming video and web-based interaction, where students are allowed to provide feedback and critique to others’ and their own presentations.
