Abstract
During student teaching experiences, preservice teachers are often asked to try pedagogical moves learned at their university in their placement classrooms and reflect on their practice. Our English Education program used an app called Sibme that allowed preservice teachers to record themselves in the classroom and reflect on their practice individually, in triages with peer groups, and through feedback with their professors and supervisors. To understand how preservice teachers used Sibme to reflect on their practice throughout the year, we conducted four interviews with former students who modeled exemplary work within Sibme. Our initial findings reveal that preservice teachers benefited from authentic viewing, felt a need for more ownership of their use, and appreciated different functions of the app for different reasons.
