A short trailer for the future of sport with augmented reality. We can imagine how it will change the performance and also popularity of sports. Furthermore, it seems that augmented reality will change the way of playing, more challenged games in every sport field.

I watched it before and when I watched Nintendo Wii come to my mind. That changes to habit of game console and I think it is revolutionary. With those applications, maybe our sports habits can change in time.

Actually when i watched it I thought Xbox which recognise you and put you in diffirent games. But Wii also not a bad example. I had a Wii platform but the limitation on that is the equipments which gives you a chance to move without doing the real move because of their calibration, i guess.

The article seeks to establish the usefulness of situated learning theory as a means of thinking differently about the alleged abstraction of school learning in a range of subjects including physical education, and the issue of transfer of learning. Following a discussion of Lave and Wenger's notion of situated learning as legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice, the article explores the potential of Siedentop's sport education model as a means of providing young people with educative and authentic experiences of sport as legitimate peripheral participants. It is concluded that sport education may have the potential to provide educative and authentic experiences of sport.

Augmented Reality Goggles for Snow Sports! Its amazing :)

Selcuk you are right but it is still very expensive to use it. on the other hand, such as in Football, Soccer, Ice hokey money is not a big problem for federations and they can find a lot of sponsors about it. That is why i believe in a short time they will start to use these kind of augmented reality features to make sports much better.

Maybe after federations start to use and these application become widespread, the personal model of those can be produced at cheaper price. However, I agree with you, price is one the biggest problem at that sector.

It gives you a big opportunity to be in the game when you do sport. You can challenge with yourself by seeing yourself in the real sport field. Also you can improve your performance and learn with enjoyable games.

I agree with you Busra, it is very lightly augmented:) We may say that in time you may learn how to run in which distance and which tempo but that is all for now.

I agree with büşra, it a kind of visual version of runtastic with that form but it can be developed. For example, think about you run at treadmill (maybe upgraded version for VR) and with the VR glasses you can go to the any environment from the list you can choose. I think, it would be fantastic.

This is a book by Geoff Colvin which talks about the importance of deliberate practice. Mr. Colvin's primary message in this book is that people are not born with all the natural talent and abilities that will make them great it life. He asserts that, aside from some physical atributes that may give an athlete an advantage in a particular sport, everyone can achieve world-class performance through "deliberate practice" in his or her chosen field - business, music, sports, etc.

Thank you for the link, I am curious in finding more sources on the effect of deliberate practice and its effects. As I have searched Geoff Colvin is from the field of economics so it can be interesting to hear from people of different fields.

Neil Charness is also a scholar on psychology from Florida State University. He has some thoughts on expert performance. You can also check his works. :)

This video is about how to integrate technology in PE classroom by using aurasma app. A basketball coach tries to teach three basic basketball skills with augmented reality platform. Also, she shows how this aurasma app is used step by step. Enjoy!

I mentioned at OdtüClass forum abou the flexibility of that Aurasma platform and this video is the good example of it. I think that platform can be fitted to any area with the right design.

Although it is a nice though, it is not very effective for the sport enviroment. While you are practicing, it is really hard to run around with an ipad. But i agree the way of teaching. Maybe they can design a diffirent tool for more effective trainings.

Action sports superstars including Robbie Maddison (moto daredevil), Jimmy Chin(photographer), Travis Rice (snowboarder), Dean Potter (climber), Mike Horn (adventurer) and Danny Way (skateboarder) join author Steven Kotler to go deeper into the science and neurochemistry of how flow states are triggered, and their effects on your brain.

We will read more about expertise. Some readings will be from Ericsson.

:) Does this mean that we will be experts about learning after about 417 days? (10000/24)

That could be a little bit irrelavant but as I am also a big fan of the importance of pratice while reading the article lines from the film, Pride and Prejudice came to my mind and it made me laugh. It could sound a bit meaningless if you haven't watched the film, but I will try to explain. Lady Catherine, the aunt of Mr.Darcy (main guy) tries to insult Elizabeth (main girl) by saying that "no excellence in music is to be acquired, without constant practice" when she could not play the piano well. Elizabeth took her revenge from Mr.Darcy when he said to her "he did not have the talent of conversing easily with people he had never met before" and Elizabeth replies that "Perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?" :) As the article implies no one should never underestimate the power of practice. Even you can realize that you are doing better at something at your second or third time. Imagine that you are doing the same thing ten thousand time?

I was in Australia last year; it is a totally different culture and the issues they discuss about education and teaching are grately different from us. To stop bullying and discrimination, they plan to create a better school environment such as better changing rooms, toilet facilities, and mixed sporting teams. I will continue to share about educational news in Australia which may help us learn and keep an eye on a different culture.

İbrahim, I also think that having insights on how different countries approaches educational issues will be an important contribution to the course. Please do keep share these examples.
