'Using ICT in your PE Lessons'
The blog I have decided to review is by Ben Solly he is vice-principal at Long Field Academy in Melton Mowbray. The blog evaluates different technology tools used in Physical Education lessons effectively.
The blog states that for many years PE teachers have been the most proactive educators to enhance learning experiences for students through ICT. In particular, video analysis of performance has been a vital part of ICT use in PE. Performance Analysis is a topic I have been teaching on my placement in Pembrokeshire College. Although I did not record the learners performance, I used video clips of elite athletes and from this the learners where able to analyse performance and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Below are some strengths for recording performance.
- Correct form - In order to improve movement technique, video analysis is a successful coaching method used by many coaches. Repeatedly showing the athlete the correct sporting movement, enhances the athletes learning. Also, the ability to have the correct movement on video, saves the coach from repeating the motion perfectly many times to show the athlete.
- Performance improvement - By watching a video clip of their own performance, this allows athletes to analyse themselves and identify and strengths and weaknesses.
Video analysis could be incorporated in many sporting modules within the curriculum, including biomechanics, physiology, skills assessments and practical lessons. With the ability to replay movements or performance, this enhances the experience of visual learning.
From my experience, using video recordings of sporting movements and performance, helped increase learners knowledge and understanding on how to perform these correctly.
