November 4, 2005. The Teachers College Library recently added
"Developing New Tools for Video Analysis and Communication to Promote Critical Thinking" by Michael D. Preston, Gordon A. Campbell, Herbert P. Ginsburg, Peter Sommer & Frank A. Moretti to its collection. The authors discuss CCNMTL's research on Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning (VITAL), a web-based study environment used by Prof. Herbert Ginsburg in his course on the Development of Mathematical Thinking, and examine how VITAL promotes student engagement in critical thinking activities such as interpretation, hypothesis generation, and use of evidence.
