Challenges Staff reluctance (often due to lack of perceived expertise). The need to develop a risk-taking culture within the profession Time to experiment (INSET, team teaching, student teachers, working with coaches) What would we say to a pupil we teach who tells us they cannot do something? Why should we as teachers be different? Financial implications (funding opportunities and initiatives) Technical problems will arise but more importantly is how staff view and deal with these Dartfish vs. other analysis software on the market (more important issue is how it is used) Understanding ICT is one of many tools used to achieve a learning objective Appreciating that not all activities are suited Networking implications (Dartfish Educator) Mr Paul Collins – Director of Specialism (Physical Education and Sport) The Castle School
