I Movie Reflection

After making this instructional video about a sport skill, I realized how important these videos can really be to me as both a teacher as well as a coach. I can film my players while they are doing certain sport skills and that way they can visually make themselves better by watching them perform. I can use these videos to help a brand new class learn a more difficult skill. The lessons that would be enhanced would be a ton, but specifically I would say things like learning to play games that might be a little foreign to the students; like water polo, cross country skiing, lacrosse, and/or mountain biking in the physical education classes. I really think that I can help my students understand and learn better because of the visual aspect of these videos. I am a visual learner and I know how much easier it is to learn a new skill once I have seen someone else performing that same skill. I am grateful that I learned how to use I movie. I am also glad that we have been video taping the lessons that we have been teaching lately. I now know how to convert them into I movie and burn them to a disc. This will only help me realize what I can really be doing to improve as a teacher in the classroom as well as a coach on the field.
