Reflection Question

1)    Several ideas were presented on how to use video technology in physical education.  What other ways can you think of to use video technology in your classes?

There are so many physical education teachers who have access to technology but do not use it effectively to benefit their students.  More teachers should explore the IPad and use the video technology that it offers like coach’s eye and other applications to capture the movement of their students.  By using other technologies associated video technology, PE teachers can properly assess their students movement and analyze if they are in the initial stage, elementary stage or mature stage. Also, teachers are not able to watch all of their students at once so using video, they can watch over the entire class and review the video if anything happened in class.

Projects

            1) Make a list of the features you would like on a video camera.  Then, peruse a catalog for video cameras that fit your criteria.  Finally, go on the Internet and compare reviews of these video cameras.  Select a video camera and write a brief explanation of why you selected it.

The camera that I have selected to review is the HERO3: Black edition Go Pro video camera.  The reason I have selected this video camera is because it is made for extreme conditions and situations and in physical education classes, you may never know what situations you will run into.  With this camera, you can also control it with a Wi-Fi remote which is a huge addition as you can control them from anywhere in the room.  It is also waterproof and has a great shutter speed to capture video an excellent frame rates.

This video camera is also made for sports so using it in physical education class is a perfect situation.
