My favorite tool is Adobe Spark but I have to follow the directions and try new ones. Since I use a Mac, I thought I might try iMovie. One of my students used iMovie for her PBL and it turned out great. I was hoping it will go well for me but there was a slight speed bump. I had a challenge to import videos from my media. I also checked out videoscribe. This would be the first time I used whiteboard-style animation tool. After signing up and downloading it, but when I tried to open it, I received this, “VideoScribe” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. However, I got some luck with Edpuzzle. I really like that it has a large variations of YouTube videos to use from. A big plus is having the option of cutting the video. This makes classroom time management more efficient. I also used the option to add questions during the video for students. Great way to check for understanding .
A barrier for me was lack of knowledge of using new website tools. Even after going through the tutorial, it was still challenge. For my students, a barrier for them would be their device is not compatible with an App. I also experienced that with videoscribe. I have many students in P.E. who are visual learner. Using video as an assessment would be very beneficial. I was so surprised how much students were engaged watching the Crossfit PBL videos. As for now, I noticed using things such as sports, art, and music are ways to get students attention in videos. What are some other strategies to use video as an assessment tool?

One way I use Google forms in my practice is having students be accountable inputting their data for mile runs along with their feedback on the daily activity. I try to incorporate technology in P.E. as much as I can by using Kahoot, music, and Google forms. I found the Google forms has helped me compared student's fitness scores. What I like best about Google forms is the graphs and charts once I inputted their scores. I like to ask them, "how they are feeling", "did they have breakfast or lunch", "Is it cold, too hot, or just right with the temperature". During my Touro research paper, I used Google forms as Qualitative data. I asked them questions to get feedback using the electronic device while running the mile. I made it short answers to allow students to provide their personal experience and feedback instead of multi choice answers. For my capstone, I was thinking how I can provide more data collection and data analysis in my research with the use of a technology tool. I want to have a fitness tracker that can be measurable. I thought about how I can get more students engaged and motivated in a fitness activity by having student choose the activity. Google forms will be the factor in deciding answer of the student's choice. |
