Physical+Education

//In spring 2009, two individuals would each synthesize a chapter and then compare their chapters. It was a little more complex than what we ask now. Here is a brief synthesis with some really great resources from Amity.//

TPACK physical education
Physical education and modern languages actually have a lot in common. Not in the results but in the methods. Students need lots and lots of practice with new skills before they are assessed on the skill. Students need lots and lots of feedback on specific components to make the other components work. And technology is strong in both areas. For the phys ed classroom, having appropriate diagnostic software and video tutorials helps the teacher manage a lot of data.

Here are links to TPACK in physical education:

[|KIDS.GOV] was "the" site I went to for a lot of the following links.
