Peak Phys Ed organised and hosted a Health & Physical Education ICT Conference on Thursday 22nd August at the Manningham Function Centre (Doncaster
) Over 100 delegates from Swan Hill to Stawell representing all education sectors engaged in an amazing day with educational leaders, practitioners and DEECD representatives.
Rob Malpeli & Amanda Telford, who formed Peak Phys Ed had been planning this conference for over 9 months and have surveyed teachers as to what they wanted in the ever growing area of eLearning and ICT. As a consequence they were able to tailor electives to suit teacher requests and needs, of which the top 4 were:
- an ability to use ICT to facilitate personalised learning
- “hands-on” practice with educational programs that encourage learning
- more than a collection of apps, and more about ICT teaching strategies
- Within the SAMR Model, examples of how ICT can assist task design and redesign
Some links from the day:
What tools were being shared?
- Mobile devices are great for PE especially for filming fundamental motor skills and video analysis. Presenters and particpants shared ideas and common apps such as Coach’s Eye and ubersense.
- Develop your own survey or quiz to quickly assess your students knowledge and understanding of the topics you are teaching or as a revision. Two popular tools were: testmoz and socrative
- QR codes provide an easy and interesting way to provide webpages and URLs to students via tablets or phones. Generate your own QR code
