In addition to capturing how teaching and learning unfolds over time, it may also be useful to get several different perspectives on a single activity. In Jennifer Myers' website, video clips focusing on her work with several different students during the reader’s conference portion of the day are embedded in a series of clips showing the basic structure of her readers’ workshop. Viewing the same interaction across multiple students allows audiences to see in depth what happens during the readers' conference and to see how Myers differentiates her literacy instruction.
