I am currently
focussed on high school video production as a way of understanding
the student-school relationship. I am studying the connection
between social
relations and academic activity in high schools as visible and audible
in the videotapes made by students. Student-made videos show how the
camera operators are relating to the activity around them and how well
they
"communicate" with the tools of video cameras and editing programs. By
noting the changes from one moment to the next, I explore learning and
development, their connections, and their differences. In the process
of producing videos, the "participation" of material and social
contexts become uniquely visible. I seek to explain the intricate dance
that emerges between
the camera operator and the context, which shows a world of missed
moments and
invisible successes that begin to connect and explain long term
performance.
