Using the Swivl Robotic Mobile Accessory in Physical Education

SWIVLBelow is a quick demonstration of how the Swivl can be used in a physical education class. As I have discussed before, if you are looking to improve your teaching practices this school year I recommend looking into purchasing a Swvil. I filmed this with my iPad Mini. I have the latest edition of the Swivl. In the video you’ll see the range that you can have while using Swivl. I will use this for teacher analysis purposes and presentations. I plan to surround my Swivl with plexiglass by buying a fish tank at the local pet store or making a custom plexiglass box. Once I do this, I will mount the plexiglass box on the wall at chest height. In a future blog I will have pictures of how this looks/works. Read More
