I have used IPADS in my elementary setting for a few years now. I have used a variety of apps for teaching my lessons. I have not mastered all these apps, but I have looked at them in action and got them approved by my district tech department. The apps include ab workout, arm workout, leg workout, CMV free (coach my video)for video analysis, coach's eye video analysis, cardiio- check heart rate,coin toss- to make decisions, flip score pro-used for score keeping, do dance-xbox kinect like, iMuscle 2-muscles in action, instant replay-get filmed at watch it back instantly, seconds pro- multi-functioning timers, spin it- a fun tool that can be making decision random by spinning a wheel, tap a lap- design for counting laps, team shake- making teams, decide now- random spinner that can be customized and make dice-custom made dice for a variety of decision making. The students have used some of these apps as well and are excited to be part of their own learning. There is a website called the PE Geek who is the master when it comes to PE and health related apps. I am also looking for the next and new and exciting apps to teach these child of the 21st century and how it will enhance my PE program. Special note: I have 4 Ipads so I commonly divided the class into quadrants to share the IPads. I have a HDMI adapter that I hook up to a projector, so all my students can see the app in action.

We use Ipads in may different formats for our classes. We have use them to give self-assessments of performance and peer-assessments of performance. Students receive great feedback after they see a recording of their performance and it allows them to look at what they did correctly or incorrectly.

We also have use an App for keeping score in our bowling unit. The App is easy to download and it is so much easier for the students to enter the score on the Ipad and it application keeps score for them. We use to teach how to keep score the old-school way with pencil and paper. This App allows us to get rid of the paper and pencil mess. The students copy their overall scores and emails it to the teacher.

Your use of the ipad is incredible. I am impressed with your willingness to infuse technology into your classes with all the different applications.

We have played with or discussed the idea of getting ipads for our Physical Education classes. I know we would use them for video analysis, but the applications that you have provided give me direction and ideas about how we could use them at our high school level. Even something as simple as a timer in which the students can keep track of time spent for activity is useful!

I have heard of the CMV (Coach My Video) application and would love to hear more about how it works and how you use it in the classroom. Is the free version worth it? I would consider using it for analyzing a golf swing or archery shooting.

Thanks for the help!
