When we have been inquiring into how to throw and jump further and run faster, we have used technology to help us in different ways. Video performances on the iPads allow the students to watch themselves perform, which is especially useful in slow motion. We have used apps such as Huddle Technique to watch in slow motion and highlight what we are doing - just like on the TV sports programmes. Recording and providing peer feedback is a undertaken with the older grades.
Grade 4 to demonstrate their knowledge, had great fun this week using Flipgrid to record video responses to the questions "How can you jump further?" or "What techniques do you use to throw further?", . They managed to create 37 instructional videos this week, so it looks like we have many future youtube stars in the making!
I admire your use of technology here Ben. Does Flip Grid allow for annotating and drawing on top of a video? If so, looks like a great tool for analyzing movements and having kids actually visualize what their bodies are doing in the midst of athletics. Thanks!
