This symposium aims to build on the argument for viewing video recording as theory (Hall, 2000) by focusing on instances when participants intentionally engage with ongoing recording, move/interact with recording equipment, and (re)purpose video records. All four papers use example interactions to highlight how participants reorient data collection and use, reorganizing control over how their stories are recorded, shared, and analyzed in the future; we argue that these moves are attempts to further relationship building, countering the surveillance technologies cameras have become (Vossoughi & Escude, 2016). We discuss further the methodological implications for future research, asking video recording as whose theory? 

Computational thinking has become the calling card for re-introducing coding into schools. While much attention has focused on how students engage in designing systems, applications, and other computational artifacts as a measure of success for computational thinking, far fewer efforts have focused on what goes into remediating problems in designing systems and interactions because learners invariably make mistakes that need fixing-or debugging. In this panel, we examine the often overlooked practice of debugging that presents significant learning challenges (and opportunities) to students in completing assignments and instructional challenges to teachers in helping students to succeed in their classrooms. The panel participants will review what we know and don't know about debugging, discuss ways to conceptualize and study debugging, and present instructional approaches for helping teachers and students to engage productively in debugging situations. 

Charles Goodwin’s legacy includes a multitude of analytical tools for examining meaning making in interaction. We focus on Goodwin’s substrate—“the local, public configuration of action and semiotic resources” available in interaction used to create shared meanings (Goodwin, 2018, p. 32), gathering early career scholars to explore how research designs adapt substrate as an analytical tool for education research in diverse settings. This structured poster session examines how substrate can be used to capture a complex web of learning phenomena and support important analytical shifts, including representing learning processes, privileging members’ phenomena to address issues of equity, and understanding shifting power relations through multi-layered and multi-scaled analyses.
