My experience of mobile technology in learning

My experience of mobile technology in learning

A number of modules I teach, require practical assessment. So during the practical lessons and assessments I will use an iPad to take photos and record the individuals and the group for evidence of my teaching. Also the students and I, will use a number of strength and conditioning applications on the iPad to analyse their technique when completing weight training sessions and sprint training sessions. This will show an in-depth analysis of the student’s technique so they can recognise and evaluate what they are doing correctly and what needs adjusting.

I will use and download mobile phone applications to help analyse and aid the students and myself. For example the students were required to undertake the bleep test. In a matter of seconds I was able to download the bleep test on my mobile phone so the students could complete the test.

In today’s society every student will have access to Facebook on their mobile phones. In the college where I am undertaking my teaching practice they rely on Facebook to contact and update any information that is required for the up and coming lessons on the Sport Coaching Facebook page where all students have access to.  On a regular basis I will write a post to remind the class what they need to bring to the lesson or if there is a change of circumstance to the lesson, such as a change of room.
