2.2.2. Goals
2.2.2.1. A cross-curricular ICT and Phys Ed lesson. This is a year-end assignment, where the goal is to have students demonstrate their understanding of the proper technique of a certain sport (their choice). They will do so through physically explaining and demonstrating the technique while incorporating the use of video capturing, uploading & editing to save & present their demonstration.
2.2.2.1.1. Students will be broken into teams of 2
2.2.2.1.2. They will work together to choose a sport and sport-specific technique.
2.2.2.1.3. They will then work together to demonstrate the technique while ensuring it is properly videotaped. Students will be asked to demonstrate poor technique, and then improve that technique by giving "tips" learned in class.
2.2.2.1.4. Students will upload the video to the computer, and then edit is as needed
2.2.2.1.5. Students' videos will then be presented to the class and peers
2.2.3. Set context
2.2.3.1. Students will use this opportunity to prove/demonstrate their understanding of the difference between proper and improper technique with sport-specific skills
2.2.3.2. Students will utilize iPads to capture, edit and produce a video of the demonstration, proving their ability in technological expectations while also utilizing a project presentation option.
