The Sports Psych Lab is very interesting because there are many technologies beneficial for all types of people. For example, if you are a new teacher or veteran teacher looking to see how to improve your teaching, the cameras installed in that room are great because they detect motion and move as you teach. It will demonstrate how you manage your classroom and will allow you to improve on classroom management.

I might use PowerPoint to support student learning in for example a math lesson to improve learning with Bloom's Taxonomy. The first level of the pyramid is remember, I could have a slide with a rhyme or song to help my students remember the concept. I can use second level - understand by explaining the concept a different way than the first time with an example. I can use apply to allow the students to use the concept in a problem. I can use analyze to allow the students to see how their answer was correct or incorrect. If their answer was incorrect I would have them evaluate the steps that went wrong by displaying the steps on a slide. For the last slide, I would allow my students to create their own problem using the concept while I display instructions on the slide.
