This is incredible! I love learning from my colleagues and seeing them in action. We're able to observe any classroom at our site and beyond. Our principal highly encourages it and we are grateful to be able to learn from others.

This is a great tool for educators and people studying to be educators! I hope that my school gives us opportunities like these!

Five minutes seems like very little time to have a truly meaningful observation. I understand the thought behind it, but I would think the depth of one observation would bring a richer concept of how practices are implemented.

Loved the video! I liked and subscribed because I think this is an excellent way for pre-service teachers to learn the tool of the trade. I would like to see this system implemented at all universities with a robust educational instruction program!

It does feel like 5 min. is too short. I understand the rationale, but 10 - 15 min. seems more optimal. There's limited time to observe, but I'd personally prefer longer observation sessions.

Great tool. problem is, buy in, accruing critical mass (statistically significant ensemble), Time and sustainability....otherwise it may be relegated to "useful background noise"

Learning walks are better than Literacy walks. I prefer to observe a colleague and learn from them than being observed and evaluated but not tools or PD is provided in order to improve in the area you need help with.
