• Resumen

  • One of the fundamental challenges in teaching is making the students able to transform course material in ways that help them solve �real world� problems.1 Sophisticated mobile technology (such as smartphones, iPads, or iTouches) offers students an opportunity to apply physics content to a broad range of scenarios to enhance their understanding and improve their class engagement. For the outlined example, students in an upper-level biomechanics class used the native accelerometers in iPads to record and analyze human movement. This activity allowed the students to experiment with the impulse-momentum relationship.
