DARTFISH Media Release - Education Week


Innovative and Emerging technologies at Gippsland Grammar

Gippsland Grammar is proud and excited to be only one of five schools in Victoria using Dartfish Video Analysis Software. Dartfish is used by teachers in Physical Education classes to collect, analyse and present data to students for review and assessment. Dartfish is used by the Australian Institute of Sport and was most recently used at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Dartfish at Gippsland Grammar provides sports students with the opportunity to work with the same technology as used by elite coaches and athletes to better learn and understand concepts in Physical Education.

Gippsland Grammar uses innovative technology across the curriculum to transform the learning environment of the future learner. Students use ICT to create, visualise thinking and communicate at all levels of learning and are supported by teachers who embrace technology. The schools computer network and ICT facilities have been recognised as being a leading learning resource and the school is always developing ICT programs to support student learning through emerging technologies. Gippsland Grammar’s state-of-the-art Intranet system allows parents to follow their child’s learning and be directly informed of daily activities at the school. Pod casting, Blogging and Interactive Whiteboards are just some of the new technologies introduced to enhance learning at Gippsland Grammar.
