- Abstract
Student teachers completing their field practice placement in early childhood education during the Covid-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand found themselves unable to attend their early childhood education and care centres during centre lockdowns in 2021. In order to continue to meet field practice placement learning outcomes, many student teachers, alongside their teaching teams devised innovative ways to connect with children and parents at home that enabled children, parents and whānau (extended family) to contribute their ideas and experience. As lecturers in early childhood education, the authors have been impressed by students' use of digital technologies. One digital technology that was particularly engaging for the children and their families, were studentcreated online videos and online meetings. The authors contend that the value of posting videos goes beyond extending individual learning experiences of children, and opens up possibilities for parent involvement and the consolidation of children's learning. This article will explore the potential of student-created videos as a teaching tool to promote the continuation of learning beyond the centre environment.
