TeachPE.com - physical education and coaching information site Tapping Into Expertise via Skype Posted on November 10, 2011 by mrrobbo As my students are busy studying for their final examination, I was fortunate enough to be able to complete a brief interview with Exercise Physiologist Dr Grant Abt. In the interview I sought clarification for my students about how creatine supplementation can enhance performance. Now, given that my students are actually no longer at school, (currently studying for exams), I decided to send the MP3 file in an MMS message to the students mobile phones ensuring that they could listen to it wherever they were. To make this possible I used the excellent www.smsglobal.com.au Although the conversation was short, it proved to be highly valuable and emphasised the breaking down of barriers that have held back learning for years.
