Contemporary changes in pedagogy point to the need for a higher level of video production value in most classroom video, replacing the default video protocol of an unattended camera in the back of the classroom. The rich and complex environment of today's classroom can be captured more fully using the higher level, but still easily manageable, "guerrilla video" protocol of an actively operated video camera and a wireless microphone on the teacher. With the increasingly sophisticated use of video analysis tools in teacher education and the increasingly high stakes of video-based teacher assessment, both preservice and inservice teachers benefit from a higher-level classroom video protocol.
