How can a Dartfish help a teacher??

1. Communication- Dartfish can help improve the communications skills that the teacher has with the students when trying to explain a new technique or new movement. In another words it gives the students and teachers visual support when learning something new or when trying to improve their skills. The students are able to see themselves when perfomring a lift. They can see the automatic (regular speed) video, they can delay the video, and disect their lifts.

2. Analyze- The students can learn how to analyze their form and other students lifting form which will help them not only learn to assess their own lifting form, but the form of others. This allows the students to better understand key points of a lift and also to learn to self correct when not useing the dartfish program.

3. Share- This program allows the teacher to share knowledge with students with a more visual approach, which may help visual learners learn a new concept or movement much quicker. If money allows the teacher could also put each video on a DVD or CD for the students to take home and study their form so they can learn the techniques quicker.

  • Use to help student better understand what parts of their lifts need to improve and what should stay the same
  • Students can create a group project or individual project on why a certain part of a lift is important for a efficient lift while breaking down a dartfish video of themselves or group member lifting
  • Students can learn the form faster and more efficiently
  • Used during a lesson of assessment
  • To help students advance into a more complicated lift
  • To better understand the way a particular movement needs to be executed


    Some Problems that may occur when using Dartfish and how to prevent them

  • Dartfish is a advance system that does cost some money- Teachers and students may have fundraiser to raise money for all the materials needed for the program.
  • Parents may be afaird of having their child videotaped- To avoid this make sure to have premission slips signed and turned back into you to ensure that the parents are aware of what will be entailed with this part of the class
  • Confusion with why this program is neccessary- make sure to have an introduction lesson leading up to the Dartfish to help the students better understand why Dartfish will help their growth as a athlete and as a student.
