 * Classroom examples:**

Using in PE and Music classes to record students’ progress throughout the year, i.e. students doing handstands and other gymnastics. This helps the teacher and student come to an agreement on the students’ grades as they can rewatch their performance after the fact from a different perspective. This is also useful for students to watch later in the year to see their progress and what they have improved upon and still need to work on. It was also used for music class to record performances for later assessment and for tracking progess.(@https://docs.google.com/present/view?pli=1&id=dhn2vcv5_6tv55j7g9)
