Recently I read Jon Bergman's blog regarding the flipped teaching model in the classroom and how it is not about the video. Instead, flipped teaching is about the time gained in the classroom by having students receive the lecture portion outside of the classroom. To me this is the 1.0 version of flipped teaching. This model can absolutely work in Physical Education and is the standard model in most classes. By making videos of information such as games, rules, techniques, etc. that are watched outside of class there should be more time in class to be active and participate.
However, unique to Physical Education, there is an equally vital role that the videos themselves can take in the daily education process. Because PE is a special that requires so much analysis of movement, using video to target and provide immediate feedback is vital to the learning process. In the 2.0 version of the flipped classroom, students both create and analyze videos of skill performances during and outside of class. Essentially we are flipping who is in the video from the teacher to the student!
Coaches have been using video analysis techniques since video was first available many years ago. It is only recently though that mobile devices have progressed to the point that nearly everyone who has a phone has access to a high quality video camera that can be used for analysis. Now that my classes have access to iPod touches and the Coach's Eye app, I can easily have every student participate in self and peer analysis with video. In my coaching and teaching experience, there is no better way to achieve change in students then when they can see and analyze their own technique.

Hello I am a edm310 student at University Of South Alabama. I will be following you for a couple of weeks, and posting comments on my blog. You can read the comments on hurdwarnetta@blogspot.com.
I love the thought of flipping the classroom, it helps students as well as teachers. In my future classroom I will be using this technique. I always talked about using the hands-on approach,and this will be perfect for that. I think that every teacher should try it.
I love the idea of flipping P.E. I am a student at the University of South Alabama in a class called EDM 310. I coach at a local highschool and some of the coaches are P.E.teachers. We had a conversation last week about ways to teach kids more efficiently and couldnt seem to find a solution, well I believe i just found it!
Great Post.

Hello I am student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I am in school to become a PE teacher and although I think flipping a classroom is a great idea I never thought it could be applied to a PE class setting…until now. I really enjoyed reading your post and can't wait to read more of them.
My name is John Carpenter. I am a student at the University of South Alabama, located in Mobile, Al. I am currently enrolled in micro-computing or EDM310. My assignment this week per my instruter was to read your blog post. I plan on becoming a physical education teacher upon graduation. I appreciate your blog "Flipping in Education 2.0: It's all about the videos!" I agree that allowing your students' to learn the information outside of the classroom will allow more time in the class to work on physical activitites. I think that this is a great way to get our students' more active and more fit! I enjoyed your ideas. Look forwars to reading more!
I actually just wrote a post about this and I couldn't agree with you more. There really isn't a better way for a student to learn than to be able to see what they are doing wrong, correct it, and then see the progression that they have made. They see what THEY'RE doing and not what the teacher is doing, and it's also great motivation!
I never thought about it, but flipping the classroom is a great idea too. It is hard to give individual instruction in a large P.E. class, and giving them a tutorial video to watch beforehand would save a lot of valuable class time.

Hey, my name is Kristy I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I am currently in school to become a PE teacher. I was very pleased to see that I got assigned to your blog. I am not much of a technological person needless to say this class hasn’t been my favorite. It has been worth it though i have learned so much in just these few months. I love your post and couldn’t agree more. I am the manager for the softball team here at south. We use right view pro. (Which is a lot like coaches eye) to help our athletes see where they our making mistakes fundamentally. This helps out athletes see exactly what we’re talking about and they can view it in and outside of the classroom .Having videos to help teach out future students will save time and allow them to improve with a simple clip. Keep the post coming and thanks for your help.
Hi, I'm a student at USA in EDM310. I like the fact that you have them learn outside the classroom so that it leaves more time for physical activities in class. Great post!
