The Canisius Physical and Health Education/Teacher Education (P/HETE) program visited Buffalo Public School (BPS) No. 17 on March 19 and March 26.
Teacher candidates from Dr. Clancy Seymour’s Assessment in Physical Education (PED 371/PEG 571) course collaborated with Marianna Cecchini (Principal), Tricia Vezina (PE teacher) and Canisius P/HETE alumnus Phil Smith (PE teacher) ’13, M.S ’17, to conduct practice assessments with K-4th grade physical education students.
Overall, the K-4 students were treated to an enjoyable experience while immersing nearly 50 P/HETE majors in an authentic educational setting.
The collaboration itself continues to cultivate local BPS partnerships with the Canisius P/HETE program and provides teacher candidates the opportunity to analyze student learning outcome data as part of an evidence-driven approach to pedagogy.

Panopto has another application for recording other than Capture. Panopto Recorder allows you to download an application and record video without needing to have an internet application. The controls and settings are also somewhat easier to grapple than Capture.
Take a look at the video tutorial for the desktop app and our supplemental tutorial on deleting recordings saved locally on the computer.
For other tutorials on Panopto, check out the Panopto Wiki page.
