Abstract
Physical educators are discovering the benefits of using video analysis to support their instruction and assessment. Slow-motion playback, zoom, and voice-over narration are just some of the features built into increasingly affordable mobile devices and applications that can easily be used by teachers to support student learning. Additionally, with the use of video technology, teachers are finding creative ways to provide instant motor-performance feedback which can be easily documented for assessment purposes. Yet, with any novel technology tool, internal and external challenges exist that may prevent teachers from realizing the myriad of benefits. This article provides a background on mobile video analysis tools, along with strategies to help physical educators discover ways to effectively implement this engaging technology into their curriculum.
