If I had only asked them some questions about their home life, their physical activity and access to resources, I would have been able to plan a little differently. I also would have had the necessary information to address some of those needs individually with my students. Moving forward, I have created that survey and will be asking my students to complete it in September. This will help guide many decisions when creating assignments, assessments, group discussions and individual conversations with my students.
If you are interested in creating your own, here is a link to mine to get some ideas. Bringing Games to Google Meets — The online classroom has a different feel. Comfort levels shift and as a result, behaviors shift.
Overall, my experience with google meets in my PE classes was not the best and I know I can improve in this area and create a different environment. I know this because I saw it work in my Unified google meets. It was an opportunity for our partners general education students and athletes students with a range of intellectual disabilities to come together socially, work on a variety of skills, and reinforce prior learning content. We would pre-set all the students by posting what we would be doing a few days before our google meet.
We had regular attendance, cameras and audio were on by choice and the students enjoyed what we were doing. We received great feedback and this is something I highly recommend incorporating in some way into your virtual classroom.
I plan on using these games and many others as a way for my students to engage with one another, review important class concepts, and to have a little fun along our virtual journey. Explore a Variety of Activities — As physical educators we want our students to try a variety of activities throughout their educational career. This allows them to make informed decisions about their interests to maintain an enjoyable, active lifestyle. In a Remote Learning Model, access to equipment, resources, community facilities, and even other people can pose difficult challenges in order to physically engage in these activities.
However, we can still explore and teach our students about a variety of sports, recreational games, and lifetime activities. How about having your students pick an activity they have never done before, research it and present to the class? This idea could be structured in any way that works for you and your students.
Personally, I am excited to use this idea not just in a Remote Learning Model, but also when we return to school in person. Be safe. Be kind. Stay positive. In addition to her physical education classes, Allison teaches two dance electives and Unified PE.
She is one of two faculty managers for physical education and has experience coaching Cross Country, Softball, Unified Bowling, and a Dance team. Does online physical education have some advantages? Is it possible to make it a better experience? Online P. Though virtual P. When students and teachers went to real-time school, students could ask for help anytime; and they could focus on their tasks more.
The physical education teachers also have trouble with online classes. Teachers have a very limited amount of activities and exercises to assign to students because not all students have the equipment needed.
In real-time, teachers could keep a better eye on their students and update on how they were doing. Now, all of this is much harder, and students and teachers need to work together to figure it all out.
Nipher Middle School physical education teacher Mr. Options include adaptive PE and homebound courses. Students set individual goals, participate in a weekly exercise program, and receive one-on-one feedback from an instructor. Family Time Fitness is a company founded specifically for homeschoolers, although it is also available through some public schools.
Its physical education programs consist mainly of printable lesson plans and videos, although parents also get reminder emails and access to supplemental downloads and online webinars. ACE Fitness is nonprofit dedicated to training and certifying fitness professionals from all walks of life. Their fitness library includes a wide variety of exercises, complete with difficulty levels, step-by-step instructions, and pictures of proper form.
Although not designed specifically for homeschool PE classes, it's a great resource for homeschool families looking to get moving. For public school students, online PE allows them to fulfill their physical education requirement outside of regular school hours. That frees up more time during the school day for other subjects.
Similarly, for homeschooled students an online PE course allows teens to take a self-directed approach to physical education, allowing the teaching parent more time to focus on other subjects and siblings.
Online PE also allows homeschoolers to have supervision by trained physical education professionals without the need to join a gym or seek a private instructor. For kids who are already involved in sports or other physical activity, online PE adds a written component that might be covered only briefly or not at all by real-world coaches. Online PE courses also offer a health component which may satisfy state or umbrella school requirements.
Both public school and homeschool students also get the chance to get credit for sports that may not be part of a traditional physical education program, such as roller blading, surfing, ballet, or equestrian sports.
Students who have taken it say online PE isn't easy. In some programs, students must complete certain goals, no matter how long it takes them. They are also all held to the same standards, regardless of their ability, conditioning, strengths, or weaknesses.
