Tracker on BallTossOut-main.gif showing the velocity and acceleration vectors as alternative means to self talk that ay always vertically downwards

Aim: to experience a Tracker workshop to enable teachers to conduct a lesson (kinematics, likely falling ball?, bouncing ball?, projectile motion?) using Tracker.
Results for MOEHQ: at least one lesson to be share at ICT connection ?
Results for RGS: better student engagement, improve student centered learning, teacher capability improved ?

Title: Learning Physics of Sport through Video Analysis and Modeling
Venue: RGS Raffles Girls School, Computer Lab
Date: 15 September 2011
Time: 1500-1700hrs

The sharing had a problem where the Mac computer cannot open the video files

Solution:

Shorten the path of the video folders in the MacOSX

for example the path could be shorten by removing the initial path folder name

Took a while to trouble shoot

the other work around is to open from the OSP web library which automatically save the video is a shorten path that should be fine.
