My Project

My students are students with varying forms of emotional, physical and intellectual disabilities as well as autism spectrum disorders. As part of their special education instruction, my students have physical education class where we do various activities to regulate their health.

One of the best ways to track progress and display this to parents is to be able to track it digitally with a Insta360 camera.

With this camera, my physical education class can be more transparent in documenting what my students do in class to their parents! With this GoPro we can let our kids interact through gym class with the Gopro Camera. Thank you so very much for thinking about my students and for allowing my gymnasium to be upgraded with this tech!
