Please observe the changes that I made to this PE class in red. If you click on the image, the Word document can be viewed.

After reviewing the readings for this week as well as having a “reflective eye” on my past lesson of Skipping, I was able to add ICT Competencies to improve the feedback application process for students.

One of the challenges that I have as a PE Teacher is that I see a large amount of students for a very short time. As a result, skill mastery and application can be difficult for students when they are faced with new skills. When reviewing this lesson plan I could identify some areas of improvement by introducing video analysis through the Coach’s Eye app.

Through videoing my students while they practice, I can give each student a unique viewpoint of their movements. They would never normally be able to get this perspective and in-turn, promote body awareness while developing a new skill. Being able to share these videos to each individual student through their Google Drive account, I can empower students to take control of their own improvement.

This is in direct reference to engaging students at a young age with ICT capabilities in Newhouse’s (2013) article and to improve the lower ICT capabilities highlighted in Thomson’s (2015) policy document.
