Demonstrating some basic breakaway hockey skills

For my physical education technology class we have to complete a digital video demonstration of a sport skill. I think for mine i am going to provide a detailed demonstration of some basic breakaway moves a player can use when going one on one with the goalie. I could also throw in some advanced moves as well just to show how much creativity there is is something that seems so simple. I want to do this because ive played hockey for a while so i think sharing my knowledge is something i would like to do. Im going to have to see how it goes.

using videos in class

today in class we went over the uses of video technology in a pe setting. i think this is a very useful tool to adapt into a class. there are so many possible ways to use video to enhance a students learning experience. one example i like is a model demonstration, using video to demonstrate the proper techniques and gives you as the teacher the ability to pause the video and explain exactly what the critical elements are for the specific skill. This information will be very useful to me and i cant wait to try to incorparate this technology into a actual classroom to see how well the students adapt to it.
