Using Digital Videos in PE
In my second unit, I plan on teaching my students how to use the flip video camera to create some “how to bowl” videos for the second graders to watch before they come to their bowling event! Now I know that this is going to take some time to do, but I think in the long run it will be valuable to the students as well as a tool for the teacher to use. I think that by having the students create a “how to…” video, you can also use their videos as an assessment tool. By looking at their video you will be able to see if they really have a grasp on what you have taught them. For example, one of my groups will make a video on how to keep score in bowling. You can use this video to see if the students truly understand how to keep score correctly. Also you may find that if their video is correct in explaining how to keep score, you want to use this student-made video for teaching other students how to keep score correctly. This way, the students will have another way of learning how to keep score other than hearing the teacher explain it. Any other ideas?? I would love to hear them!

Wow! What a great way to assess student understanding without a written test or physical activity. In fact, if they do make a video on "how to...score bowling", send it to me; ever time I think I get it, I miss something. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it would be a better way to test instead of always using a written test. You could grade them on their video making as well as skills learned. If the video turns out I will send it to you, Ian. How about if I make a podcast for you on "how to keep score in bowling?!"
