In terms of a video I would use in my class, I would use one that has to do with Physical Education. the subject area I have majored in. The video I chose was a video called Sports Science. Sports Science goes over challenges such as who can kick the hardest? A MMA Fighter or Football Punter? The video I chose was who is more accurate in hitting a target? A football quarter back or a professional archer? I would definitely use this type of video in a Physical Education setting where we are going over the proper mechanics for a throw, a kick, a jump shot, etc. Whichever sport unit we are participating in at the time would be the perfect time to use this video to show students the proper mechanics of the movement. How would I do this? I would set it up on a big screen before gym and talk about the movement we would be working on that day. The nice thing about sports science is it is not always comparisons between two type of athletes, sometimes it will have videos on who has better technique as well.
These types of videos have a lot to offer. It is a good source of differentiated learning in a visual and auditory sense. Setting it up on a wide projector in the gym while students hold the ball and mimic the technique could also be good for kinaesthetic learners as well. Videos like these give a perfect breakdown of how to throw/kick etc. with proper technique, the velocity you want to use, and the form that is the most beneficial to have.
If I were to get students to implement this type of video work into Physical Education, I can think of one app they could use that i have used several times in my students teaching experience. The App COACHES EYE is a great tool if you want students not only to perform the movement required, but also show off their knowledge on the subject and show an understanding. With coaches eye you can show a breakdown of proper and improper form, and whether or not you are doing the movement correctly. With the video you can make small tweaks to the individuals form and help them improve. It can be used over and over until performed properly. It can show the individuals levels of the body, their angle, and their force. It can also be played in slow motion, regular motion, and rewound and fast forwarded. For a final presentation, for example baseball, you could the student to explain how to do the throwing movement properly and improperly to show a comparison, and talk in the video to explain the breakdown. They could then share their video on youtube. I think sharing it on youtube would be a great idea because it not only informs younger athletes how to throw properly, but also becomes a good resource for other teachers to get ideas of how you could come up wit ha summative project instead of a test. I think it is a really cool idea. I have used Coaches Eye in the past and I will definitely be using it down the road as well.
