Video SoftwareTo go along with the video camera would be the state of the

technology in video software.This video software will allow for a full array of assessment

tools.You can use the Dartfish software to make very impressive

video analysis for your students including StroMotion, SimulCam and video syncing in single or multiple viewing modes.

It has drawing tools such as lines, shapes, angles, and freehand, and you can insert text or your logo on top of the video.

PedometerPedometers can be great to integrate into PE class.Students can easily track the amount of activity they’ve done

and as a teacher I can easily assess their amount of activity.I can also relate the numbers practically to everyday living

and make a lifestyle lesson out of the pedometer use.

Interactive ClickersThis is a great way to get students more involved in

classroom learning.Also, it can help me see how much my students know, what

their opinions might be on a certain issue, etc.The Interactive clickers allow for all students to get involved

without having to worry about becoming embarrassed by giving the “wrong answer”.

Makes learning fun.

ComputerTo be able to use most of this equipment and software we

need a computer.A good desktop computer will aid in using Dartfish to assess

students, creating PowerPoint's for classes and using the interactive clickers for lessons.

Only the best for my children, so we’re going with a Dell XPS.

Wrap-UpWith this equipment/software package I believe I will be able

to assess students at a new level that I would not otherwise be able to achieve.

I believe my students will be more interactive and want to learn more.
