Tech post #1

When using technology in Physical Education video recording can be very beneficial, as discussed in chapter 14.  This can allow an athlete to see footage of themselves performing and then allow them, with the aid of a coach or teacher, to adapt and or correct their techniques for the best performance.  Video recordings may not be as common as some of the other technologies in teaching/coaching, but to an athlete it can be extremely beneficial.  Dartfish is a great website that does just that!  It allows a coach and athlete to playback recorded footage to analyze and critic the athletes performance.  In the world of sports, inches and seconds are commonly the deciding factor between victory and defeat.  What athlete would not want to gain the upper hand on their competition by analyzing the key moments?  This is a great use of technology and can greatly benefit athletes in all sports.
