Also, assessments are the make or break area that determines a quality physical education program. So what is a quick, efficient, and appropriate tech tool that can work for assessments in PE?

I could use it to start class or as an exit ticket. I may ask questions like what skill about shooting a basketball do you struggle with the most? On the flip side, asking what aspects of soccer that we went over do you feel the most confident about? ]]> 2021-02-22 03:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pg_melkapaulos/bvf8c1a0ftnebqln/wish/1224638593 pg_melkapaulos https://padlet.com/pg_melkapaulos/bvf8c1a0ftnebqln/wish/1224659329 Plickers is a great tech tool for assessment in PE, but that doesn't mean it is the best support for the students in your class. The teacher has to make sure the tech tool fits the class not for the class to fit the tech tool. As a result, trial and error is a great process to use to figure out what works best for the students. Students need some practice time on how to use plickers correctly, especially elementary students. Also accommodations or modifications may be needed to use plickers for students with disabilities and ELL. ]]> 2021-02-22 03:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pg_melkapaulos/bvf8c1a0ftnebqln/wish/1224659329
