A New Discovery

An exciting discovery of a new ICT was made today.  I was introduced to the concept of 'Overlay Programs' for HPE/Sports. Sportscode & Motion Pro are examples of these types of programs which allow teachers, coaches or athletes to analyse the performance in a  particular sport. This may perhaps be extremely beneficial to the track and field team in all areas, to determine how the students can improve their technique.  This program is uncomplicated, and engages students in their own learning journey.  Students would be able to film each other performing a particular run, throw or jump event.  The information from the recording can then be processed by the teacher, and overlayed onto the correct technique required to gain best results.  Next the students will be able to analyse how their performance can be improved, as well as how well they performed.  Furthermore these programs can capture the performance changes in the students over a period of time, allowing the teacher to see actual improvements, as well as determining where they require extra guidance and advice on technique.  These programs are helpful to teachers in senior grades as it offers a way to document students learning and improvement. Following is an example of how an overlay program operates.
