I think using video recorders to photo or analyze peers in the classroom is a great idea. When you can show students what they are doing incorrectly/correctly, they will believe it more often than if you just tell them they are doing it wrong. The Varsity basketball coach in my district used a program called Krossover this year which recording games and split the game film up into different sections (fast breaks, turnovers, players) and was great to show the players because they were visually able to see what they did right or wrong. The only suggestion I have is that before you photograph/video any students in class, notify the parents to protect you from any future problems.

For me, it begins with the school policy on the use of pictures and videos with a personal device. I know that some parents have signed off on no pictures or videos of their child. I have students who are injured use technology to earn their points. I give them a few topics and turn them loose to be creative with their presentations. It is neat to see what they come up with.

One of our units at the high school is golf. The major golf project for my 11th graders is to record and analyze their golf swing. They have a peer record from multiple ( safe) angles and then they analyze the swing based off the cues that are given in class. It was very successful and the students loved using the school provided ipads. Some students brought in their own devices to do the recording too. The analysis was a written document that was based off the components they were assessed on during their skill assessment. Perhaps in the future I can distribute random student recordings throughout their class and have them analyze different students! That would enable students to peer assess and reinforce the skill!
