Great Tools for Instructors:

There are many great tools for instructors. Here are a few.

OneForm (Formerly Hudl Technique) Video tool for the iPhone or Android. Allows the instructor to video and use tools to analyze a patroller. Slow Motion and drawing on screen. Videos can also be loaded into the problem from your camera roll. You also can share videos with commentary and markups. Link
DOUBLE TAKE Transforms your iPhone into a multi-cam studio allowing you to capture video from two cameras at the same time on recent devices. With this app, you record both the lead and tail at the same time, or a video in both wide angle and telephoto. Link
KIDS KUBE Although designed for teaching kids to ski, this app can provide good videos and ideas how to teach various skills. Link
