Instructional Ideas
For sports or dance classes, participants can use Bust a Move Video Delay to record their performances and instantaneously view them for critiquing purposes. Athletes and dancers practice in front of the tablet and then see themselves in action.
Classroom Considerations
Ideally, you would mount your tablet on a tripod stand to make the best use of this application. Athletes and dancers practice in front of the device and then come over to view themselves in action.
There is no way to save recordings, so you only get one chance to review your performance. Using the four-screen view and setting one to a 2-minute delay may be desirable as it allows you view the actions more than once.
The most beneficial way of using this tool would be to practice a specific move over and over again, viewing it and making adjustments repetitively, until it has been perfected.
Pros
- Removes the hassle of starting, stopping, and rewinding
Cons
- Only once opportunity to view the playback
