PhysEdSummit 5.0 – Putting the Feed-back into Feedback
The physedagogy team have been hard at work and last weekend the PhysEdSummit 5.0 rolled out around the World. This initiative aims to provide quality Professional Development to PhysEd teachers anywhere you can get wifi with free online sessions that allowed you to either actively be involved during a session (ask your questions, share your experiences or take polls or share resources etc) or to go back and watch the sessions and contact presenters via a variety of social media avenues. The opportunity to get involved was very impressive and as we are scattered all over the place, the timezone changes meant that at any time, there was a good…

Movement Composition – Kung Fu fighting….
Kung Fu Fighting from Just Dance on YouTube – an awesome warm up for your kids! Where did this year go? It is already time to begin the final units in PHE and I am excited to get into this Movement Comp unit with my Grade 8’s. The focus for me is on doing less and having time for more content and I am going to do my best to stick to this plan. The Key Concept for me here is Creativity – I read Dominique Dalais’s most recent blog post on his Martial Arts unit and I spoke with my colleague, Asako Clark about how she set up a…

Screencasting Presentation from #ACHPER15
untitled by Andrea Perez CC BY NC This post shares the Workshop notes and links that I gave at the ACHPER 2015 Annual Conference in Adelaide, Australia. When I go to conferences and into people’s workshops, the main focus for me is to try and take something away that I could implement with my classes or my own learning tomorrow. It might be something to use in a class, or in my planning to talk to my department about how we could use this but it boils down to Student Learning and how we can best improve and offer the best learning opportunities to our students. For my Workshop (45mins) the main themes…

TeachTechPlay Episode 4.5
Who are your mentors? heroes? who inspires you in your field? I have about 10 #physed people who are on my go-to list and whom I follow avidly on Twitter and regularly email or text with in many different forums. I was delighted to be invited to take part on a special PE episode of Teach Tech Play hosted by Michael Ha and Eleni Kyritsis. The premise of this Google Hangout is to share a tool you use in your classes in 4 minutes. Each presenter shares their tech go-to tool and then there are a few questions to clarify or extend your knowledge and then after each presenter has…

Dance – Concepts, Visual Learning and Formative Assessment
A few months ago I posted about our Just Dance unit for Grade 7 students. This was a big change for us as Dance educators and has really been a valuable learning tool for our students. As this was so successful for our G7 students, we decided to run a more advanced form of it for our G9 and G10 students. We wanted them to experience a Dance unit that allowed for success for everyone and that ensured we have a chance to formatively assess along the way rather than leaving the final summative assessment as the be-all-end-all of the unit. We also decided to use a Visual Learning approach…

Quickcast and autoCrat – two important #pegeek tools
Invasive Plant Work by Zen Sutherland CC BY NC SA This is not my first sharing on the use of Screencasts and autoCrat as part of the #Physed teacher’s toolkit. But I thought I would share some screencasts of my latest autoCrat journey as I have been asked about it a lot recently on Twitter. I now use Quickcast as my screencast tool, it is easy to install (on my Mac) and is very quick to set up and go. I can only cast for 3 minutes and this is perfect as I can say what I need to usually in that time frame. The screencasts are saved online so…

Get started using Screencasts in PE.
Shout, Shout by Hebedesign licensed CC BY NC SA Feedback is any teacher’s essential tool. The challenge for any teacher, is to question how much do our students retain from our verbal (and as PE teachers, our physical efforts)? Does our feedback improve student performance? Does our feedback aid the understanding of a task? Do we offer feedback to all learning styles? How could we solicit more discussion about our feedback within our class? Recently a lot of research has been conducted on the the optimal ways to give feedback and the importance of this on student learning. John Hattie (Mayer et al 2011) is a leading voice in this…
