As I am far from an expert in track and field, I decided to use collaborative learning in my Phys Ed class to help students explore and apply correct techniques for various track and field events. To do this, I used QR codes. In preparation for this, I perused through YouTube to locate videos that were fairly short (under 5 minutes) and age appropriate so the students could easily understand and follow the video. Once I found these videos, I used Google URL shortener extension on Chrome to create a unique QR code for each of the videos. I found and created a video for javelin, sprinting, long jump, triple jump, discus, shot put, and high jump. Our tablets at school have a QR scanner app and I also downloaded and installed a free app called Coach’s Eye which allows slo-motion video capture and playback. My plan was for students to get in groups, scan a QR code, watch the video, and then practice the skill using Coach’s Eye as a learning tool.
