Background/Context: This paper theorizes and describes a program-wide pedagogical design
for teacher preparation that addresses central problems related to supporting beginning
teacher candidates in designing engaging classroom interactions in and across diverse
contexts.
Focus of Study: In particular, we aimed to support the development of dialogically-organized
classroom interactions over time through a pedagogy informed by Multiliteracies. Our ped-
agogy involved a Web 2.0-mediated process of Video-Based Response and Revision (VBRR),
developed and implemented over two years with secondary English teacher candidates at
Michigan State University engaged in fifth-year internships in local secondary schools.
