Jim,

I have used videotaping in my strength & conditioning class and I have had no problems with student misuse. In fact, students have used their cameras on their phones to send a video of their lifts during max testing and I have used my IPad. Usually when videotaping is to take place the student along with the parent is educated about video use and sign a permission form to be able to participate in the actual taping.

The students tape each other to show their friend their lift totals, as a pride thing and to help each other with proper technique for their ultimate safety.

Thank you.

The use of video in a classroom is great because it provides students with a visual representation of the skill and/or standard they are working on. Students now are 21st century learners and their lives are technology based. I feel that restrictions about the use of technology need to be put on students and expectations need to be clear. I feel that there needs to be a strict policy needs to be put in place and if there is any misuse of technology, students lose that privilege.
