Something Simple

I was pumped this week! Why? Because I plugged my digital camera into my computer and downloaded a few pictures. When I was done I found that I had also saved a video of one of my jumpers as well. My computer brought it up as a quicktime movie and as I was watching it I used the arrow keys to go frame by frame. I love biomechanics so watching the video in a frame by frame sequence was awesome. It got even better when I printed about 140 frames and after some careful scissor work, created a sequence of photos that show my jumper in every body position possible during a triple jump. What a tool! Simple, yet such a great tool for teaching!
