Student Created GIFs and Review by Relay

One of my teacher friends and I worked together to come up with a different way of reviewing anatomical movements for both her Sports Medicine classes and her Medical Terminology classes.  Our brainstorming brought to mind The Learning Mixologist podcast/presentation by Kasey Bell and Holly Clark.  I love their recipe card template that encourages all of us to consider an activity we want to SHAKE UP and INFUSE with digital tools.

Here's what we did to breathe new life into this tired review activity:

• Students created GIFs demonstrating assigned anatomical movements using Screencastify or Brush Ninja and submitted them via Google Classroom.
• We flipped through the class submissions and discussed them.
• I created a Google Slide presentation and added GIFs from all four classes.
• The next day we took a few minutes to play a review game using the slides and BuzzIn.live! The game worked like this:
• We divided the class into teams, lined up the teams, and placed a chromebook at the front of the line.  Teams joined the Buzz In game on the chromebooks.
• I pulled up slides with GIFs submitted by other classes.
• Students at the front of the line buzzed in for each team, identified the movement(s) on the slide, and then rotated to the back.  
• The team who buzzed in first and answered correctly received a point that I jotted down on paper.  Members of the winning team received a small prize.

This activity took only part of the class period both days and led to some great discussion while working on and viewing the GIFs.
