document and analyze the classrooms by doing the following:
1. Using the attached “Observation Table,” identify each video and describe your observations on each of
the following characteristics for each of the three classrooms:
level (i.e., elementary school, middle school, high school)
setting (i.e., rural, urban, suburban)

technology use, including examples of how technology is used in the classroom.

hear their presentations clearly.
2. Compare and contrast each of the three classrooms based on your observations from the “Observation
Table,” including three of the classroom characteristics described in A1.
Each of the three classrooms observed presents unique characteristics while also sharing some
similarities. Firstly, all classrooms feature students grouped for collaborative and peer-peer learning,
enhancing engagement, and understanding. However, their specific approaches vary. In Video 1,
elementary students work in flexible groups, incorporating visual aids extensively to support
comprehension mostly because they are younger learners. Conversely, Video 2's middle school classroom
employs small groups to provide targeted assistance to struggling students during number talks. Lastly,
Video 3, set in a high school environment, focuses on structured academic controversy, where students
engage in deliberative discussions with assigned roles. Additionally, while technology is absent in Videos
3, Video 1 utilizes a projector and microphone to facilitate presentations. In Video 2, the teacher uses a
projector to display notes or important information towards the end of the video .Despite these
differences, all classrooms aim to foster active participation and deeper understanding among students
through varied instructional strategies tailored to their respective levels and needs.
