Data from TimeMotion App

Here is a graph of the data from my 8/9 Volleyball class. This was just a test run and only focused on each student for 2 minutes. The girl who stood still (did not move!) for 93% of her two minutes instantly tried harder the next game. In the future I will use the data to generate discussion about movement and does this corallate with those who are successful in sports as well as being able to investigate energy systems used.

iPhone - The Possibilities

The more I see in relation to iPhone apps the more I like it as an educational tool. Go to this link http://thepegeek.com/2009/10/21/how-to-make-powerful-virtual-learning-tours/ to watch a video explanation of an iPhone app called Runkeeper. Has more applications than for just PE - SOSE, English, Science, Maths etc.

Checkout this link http://thepegeek.com/2010/06/28/two-essential-iphone-apps-for-phys-ed-teachers/ to see two apps used for tracking students attendance in class and recording observational data on students. They are looked at from a PE teachers point of view i.e. don't need pen/paper/diary etc to take roll or record observational data during lessons which are not based in a classroom, just need an iPhone.

Both these links are to Jarrod Robinson's blog www.thepegeek.com. A great blog about IT in education with a PE focus.
