Conclusion
The iPad is a new mobile teaching tool that provides on-the-spot access and playback of video from an
iTunes multimedia library. The iPad, as a mobile device, provides a natural evolution from the iPod and
iPhone devices capable of recording and displaying video segments from a shared multimedia library
(Ostashewski & Reid, 2010). The ability to display video with sufficient audio volume and screen size to
provide access to teaching video segments is one key use in the dance classroom. This application of a new
mobile tool is likely expandable to other physical education or psychomotor activities where physical skill
development towards an expert level is being sought.
