Phew. It’s done. My Course 5 Final video presentation has been submitted. I chose to look at how instant video feedback can help student performance improve in PE. I used the Ubersense video analysis iPad app to record students’ performances. There were many teething problems with the videoing and time management along the way, but…

Time Managment with Mobile Devices
Some rants as I finish up my Coetail Course 5 project…. I am using ipads in my PE classes so that students can record each other performing and then offer instant visual and verbal feedback to each other. The concept is great and the results in terms of improvement have been amazing. I now just…
Digital Natives Amaze Me
The phrase Digital Natives is a funny term. Sometimes I just pass it off as a new trendy word and think that I am pretty tech savvy too……I could take them! But every day I see more and more conclusive evidence that the kids of today really are Digital Natives and the things they are…
Course 4 Final Project
For my Course 5 project, I plan to use Video analysis in my Grade 6 or 7 PE Softball class. I have 3 options around this central idea: I do the video analysis of batting and throwing for each kid The students do a video analysis for a partner The students do a video analysis…
Attention Please
I teach Grade 6 and 7 Robotics so laptops are always in the room, along with a bunch of Mindstorm Robots. It’s my first year teaching Robotics so I have ad a steep learning curve in classroom management with laptops. In my Middle school we use DyKnow to monitor and manage our students who are…
The Future of Learning
Funnily enough I had a conversation about MOOCs today, although I had not done these readings and therefore did not not refer to them as “MOOCS”. An ex-principal from my current school came back to visit today with his tech team to see where we were going with our Robotics programme. With this in mind…

I googled “Flipped Classrooms in PE” and hang on……I’m already doing that. All of the articles I read on Flipped PE classrooms focused on the same thing. Videos are the be…
Making technology integration meaningful.
As a Robotics teacher it stands to reason that technology integration is a compulsory component of my curriculum and day to day classes. Reading through the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) made me reflect on the direction and relevancy of integrating technology into my units. When I read through the TIM levels, I can see that…
Caught in the NETS
“ISTE’s NETS for Students (NETS•S) are the standards for evaluating the skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly global and digital world.” In today’s schools, our classes are driven by technology. In my school, there is technology available to every student from the earliest of ages. In KA-Grade…
A Guide to Better Throwing
Phew, I have finally finished my Course 3 Final project with my video on “A Guide to Better Throwing”. It has literally taken me hours to produce, from the infinite thoughts that accompanied me on my bike rides; to the scraps of paper alla Jeff style; to the dazed and confused time at the laptop;…
