The Case for Technology Supported Service Learning: How Chronicled Videos Enriched Pre-Service Bilingual Teachers’ Understanding of Community

Abstract

Pre-service bilingual teachers completed a service-learning project as part of their teacher preparation program, and chronicled it in video, which was viewable in YouTube through Private Sharing. Students then reflected on the project and how different technologies supported their learning. The purpose of this mixed methods case study was to determine to what extent technology supported their learning and reflection as they completed their service learning projects. In what way did the chronicled videos enrich the experience and help them better understand the communities where they will be teaching? Data were triangulated through three open-ended reflections and video analysis rubrics. The findings for these data were categorized into four relevant areas: 1) technology that supported learning; 2) service learning project quality showcased on videos; 3) video quality; and 4) reflective thematic assertions.
