While most teachers have a definite list of rules that they carry for their classrooms each year, I like the idea of allowing your students to be involved with the process of creating the class rules. Students are more likely to see the reasoning behind rules if they are involved in the creation of them, and it can be a fun activity!

Creating a safe learning environment is much easier once students become acquainted with one another. In order to do this, I enjoy using an activity where I have students pass a ball back and forth while saying the names of themselves first, and then their partners'. I start this activity in pairs, then small groups, and finally as a whole class.

It is very important as an educator (especially a physical educator) to have your classroom expectations established from the beginning of your school year. In a gymnasium, injuries are always something we are trying to prevent, and having expectations posted somewhere in the classroom can serve as a constant reminder to students.

Not only do we want to encourage students to participate and be healthy individuals, we want to encourage them to think critically for themselves and in interaction with others. To assist with this skill, "how to" posters are posted at each station during class ion addition to the initial demonstration from the teacher. This encourages the students to work together to learn skills if they forget the cues that go along with their task.

When many people think of physical education they only think of students in a gym, however, before a child ever participates in an activity it is important that they understand the vocabulary, as well as the safety precautions for the day. Google slides makes it possible for a teacher to create this presentation, post it online to google docs, and then view which students have logged into the document. This is perfect for actually seeing who does their assigned studying prior to class!

Kahoot is a very interactive way of assessing your students' current understanding of subjects. This is always a great way to review skills learned or to introduce new skills.

Children love to move, but they love to move even more when they don't realize they are exercising. A great way to distract children from the thought of "P.E" is to play music during your class, what was a chore before, is now an enjoyable experience.

A great approach for physical educators to use is to allow students to create and explore. You can do this in many ways, but my favorite is to pair students together and have them create a game for the class to play using the skills learned throughout the week (This works especially well with grades 4+).

Screencast is the perfect tool for creating your own instructional videos. It allows you to record your computer screen, as well as edit videos, and their list of editing tools is extensive, which allows for fully personalized content.
