Publicly observed lessons are an essential part of every teacher's job. In Taiwan, the Ministry of Education's "Reference Principles for Public class" states that schools must Collaborative lesson preparation/Lesson Sharing, Public Lectures/ Lesson Observation, Post-Observation Meeting/ Lesson Feedback , as well as keep records of the items they perform.
In the past, lesson observation required a lot of administrative work for schools and teachers, as well as guidance from experts. Now, with the Digital Lesson Observation model brought by TEAM Model AI Lecture Observation Lounge, the tasks of lesson observation can be completed efficiently.Conclusion Value of Digital Lesson Observation
This is a case study of one of the pilot schools of the "Literacy Oriented Open Observation Classes" implementation program in Jieshou Junior High School in Taipei City. The Digital Lesson Observation was used to promote a professional dialogue on lesson study, create a mutual learning atmosphere among teachers and students, and improve the quality of education in Taipei City.
This time, we collaborated with the Ministry of Education's Aesthetic Education Program team to hold a public observation class on "Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education and Aesthetic and Design Curriculum Innovation Project", which is a worthy example of Digital Lesson Observation practice. - Organizer: Department of Education, Taipei City Government

Introduction of Digital Lesson Observation Environment
The open class was conducted as a live public observation, with both students and observers present at the teaching site.- Public Lectures/ Lesson Observation－The teachers and experts use the Sokrates Lecture Observation App to make direct and simultaneous comments during the course (photos and text records can be used); the teachers mainly present the content on the large touch screen with PPT, and the student groups use scale boxes, color tickets and colored blocks to collaborate on the tasks.
- Post-Observation Meeting/ Lesson Feedback－By using the Sokrates video that integrates all the lecture records at the end of the class, the video can be quickly switched to the corresponding time point by clicking on the marker record of any viewer, which is convenient for lecture explanation and review, and demonstrates the value of Digital Lesson Observation!

The elements of Digital Lesson Observation
Digital Lesson Observation Process
Mr. Chen used a scale box with color tickets and colorful blocks made by the team at Jieshou Junior High School, and used the discussion and photo function of the group tablet to conduct a highly interactive smart class with the students.
The following four sections are used to explain the process of preparation, observation, explanation and discussion.
Collaborative lesson preparation
Classes taught by teachers with various teaching aids
Lesson Sharing
1.The instructor explained the direction and philosophy of the materials designed in collaboration with the Ministry of Education's Aesthetic Education Program team, and further explained the use and effectiveness of the teaching aids.Instructor Design Philosophy
2.The class facilitator will explain the ethics of class observation and explain the use of the Sokrates Lecture Observation App.Observation of the ethics of the class facilitator
Lesson Observation
In the teaching part, this lesson "Gathering the Beauty of Colors" was taught by using scale boxes and color tickets to let students know the aesthetics of color.
The teacher not only presented the course content on the touchscreen, but also used the HiTeach push function to let the group tablet as an extension of the large touch screen, so that each student could see the content and learning tasks.
The process and results of each group's tasks can be uploaded to the touch screen using the group tablet, and the teacher can use HiTeach to grasp the students' learning status and view their work, and there is a high degree of interaction between teachers and students using technology.

Students upload photos of their work
During the lesson observation, each teacher used the Sokrates Lecture Observation App to conduct the lesson observation and to take photos of the students' learning during the lesson.Teaching Content Observation Teacher: Focus on the teacher's overall teaching mode and use the Sokrates Lecture Observation App to make comments.
Post-Observation Meeting/ Lesson Feedback
A number of teachers used the Sokrates Video for their comments, teaching behavior data features, class reports, and photographic records, all of which were good tools for conducting the class.
The teacher uses the evaluation record to review the teaching moment and give feedback. 
The teacher uses the evaluation record to review the teaching moment and give feedback. Sokrates Lesson Observation Form
Public classroom observation is a professional development activity that brings together the wisdom of teachers, and all teachers' observations are valuable. In order to reduce the burden, we use the Sokrates Lecture Observation App to make comments and take photos during the lesson, and then automatically generate a Sokrates Lesson Observation Form after the lesson.
Sokrates Lesson Observation Form contains
1.Lesson resources (videos, teaching materials, lesson plans...)
2. Introduction to the lesson
3. Lesson observation record
4. Time and video links
5. Lesson observation photos or attachments
6. Sokrates report
7. Printable Sokrates Lesson Observation Form
The complete Sokrates Lesson Observation Form contains expert wisdom and artificial intelligence to automatically analyze the data features of teaching behaviors, including indices of technology interaction, pedagogy application and teaching material practice, as well as to gather synchronous and asynchronous evaluation marks from experts.
The Sokrates Lesson Observation Form is an automated output that has undergone a meticulous process to create a digital lesson observation record, establish an effective teaching and research model, and develop automated functions.

Sokrates Report Small Ideas
The TPC index in the Sokrates film is a reference index automatically given by AI artificial intelligence based on the technology used by the teacher to integrate into the teaching application data, not to represent the teacher's teaching excellence, but to illustrate the use of technological aids, which can help the teacher teaching application reference, like a most popular AI coach, to make the class more exciting and rich.
The Sokrates Lesson Observation Form is also a good tool for class discussion.
Amazing Digital Lesson Observation
The following is a quote from Supervisor Fan Xun-Lu of the Ministry of Education.
Encourage parents to come and observe classes together so that they can know that education has progressed in the field differently than before. The impact of classroom observation is really great, and it is important to be present and understand the changes in our education.
