Using video delay to teach man on man defence

Today I used a video delay for an entire period with my Year 9 class

The lesson objectives were man on man defence. I discussed with my students the importance of watching the player they are marking and not the ball

At avrious points in the games i would stop the game and ask the students to see if they were doing this. Until they could see themselves they were unaware of what they were doing.

Half way through the lesson the students started turning to the screen to see themselves.

This was a big step. It was the first time I have had a class voluntry stop so they could see themselves.

With new ways of teaching and learning it takes some time to condition the students and this proves it can pay off.
