ICT in PDHPE:

ACHPER NSW offered PDHPE teachers an opportunity to participate in an online 1 ½ hour ICT webinar. A Webinar, or "Web seminar," is an online event designed to facilitate communication between a presenter and a large remote audience using the Internet.

Session 1 - Thursday 25th March

Title: Make the web work for you - Harnessing the web as a professional learning tool - Delicious, RSS (google reader) & twitter.

Time: 3.30 pm to 5 pm

Outline:

This session will look at utilising the web to develop a professional learning network to access and share quality resources and ideas. We will walk through how to set up these different applications and have a look at how they can be used to have quality resources come to you and save you time and effort in accessing quality resources. Attendees are recommended where possible to have the presentation running on a separate screen or computer so participants can work through the different activities and make the most of the session. Resources will be available after the session for those unable to do this or who have any difficulties within the session. 

Session 2 - Thursday 29th April

Title: Google docs in the classroom- create, collaborate and share your work with ease.

Time: 3.30 pm to 5 pm

Outline:

This session will look at how google docs can be used in the classroom as an assessment for learning tool. Learn how to develop simple surveys and quizzes to get information from students in a simple and effective manner. Results are automatically entered into a spreadsheet and are instantly available in graphical form. Use these to survey students on your PDHPE lessons, their health behaviours or create class quizzes. These are easily shared and modified for future reuse. We will also look at using google docs and presentations to work with others on a shared task such as programming or examination creation. Multiple users can work on a central document simultaneously and allows for opportunities in the classroom such as live graphing of heart rate results. Attendees are recommended where possible to have the presentation running on a separate screen or computer so participants can work through the different activities and make the most of the session. Resources will be available after the session for those unable to do this or who have any difficulties within the session.

Cost: $30 per session or both sessions for $50
