Post #1 Flipping in Physical Education 2.0: It’s all about the videos!

In Jason Hahnstadt's post, Flipping in Physical Education 2.0: It's all about the videos, he explains the importance of video in physical education. In the videos he argues are meant to be watched at home so that there is more time to participate in activities. Some of the things that the videos include are games, rules, techniques, etc. In the 2.0 version of flipping the classroom, the students create and analyse of videos of skill performance during and outside of class. With access to iPod touches, he states that the students can easily participate in self and peer analysis with video. He Hahnstadt argues "there is no better way to achieve change in students then when they can see and analyze their own technique."

My Comment

I commented that I think that using this technology is excellent in the physical setting. IT's important for students to learn how their bodies perform because it brings a higher awareness of exercising and being healthy. Plus it is exciting to be able to use technology to see how your body performs. This will increase student participation and understanding.

Here is an example of a video he provides for his class





What is Flipped Coaching?

Jason Hahnstadt goes on about the benefits of flipped coaching. One of his arguments is that it saves time during practice pr in a PE class and allows the kids to perfect their skill a lot quicker or spend more time doing the activity. Making a short video that gets to the point about a certain skill or game rules and putting it on a blog the night before allows time for the student the next to do the activity.

My Comment

I think that video technology is an excellent idea for coaching and in PE class. It gives the student an idea about the action that takes place and if he needs help, the coach can take the time to correct what that student is doing wrong. It allows the student to learn at his or her own pace.
