My school district is looking into piloting a Smart Board in the Physical Education program to integrate more technology. I volunteered to take on this new piece of equipment thinking Smart Boards are interactive hands-on, minds-on technology tools. Has anyone used a smart board in the Elementary physical education setting? What types of things have been done? |

I have not used a smart board, but have used something similar although much less high tech. We use a DVR set up so that students can watch themselves do a skill, immediately upon completion of the skill. It works great with upper el students and I find they are able to fix mistakes quicker and easier simply by actually seeing themself do it the wrong way. |

I just starting using the Smart Board this year. I really like assessing the students during a skill and allowing them to view and get imediate feedback. I do recommend keeping the equipment on a stage or in a safe area away from the activity zone. It is very expensive and you don't want it to get hit or moved around too much. |
