One could imagine that using digital tools was an additional learning experience for the students in itself. Recent literature has also shown that being able to recognize what can be improved requires being trained to do so. As such, students watching themselves on video could not yield possible improvements that could be made, because noticing them also requires a learning process. It could also be hypothesized that compared to university students, elementary school students are less able to seize the benefit of video recording as a peer and self-evaluation tool. In addition, they had to manage their image, which was an extra effort as well, due to intimidation and possible lack of confidence in front of the camera, although students may have a positive attitude toward videos. One could therefore claim, but obviously without being certain, that a related form of learning took place: the management of technologies for learning, and the management of one’s image.
