He is an energetic middle school PE teacher that has made weekly fun and creative videos for PE.  These videos range from fun runs, dance and workout videos to sport specific skills and drills (ex: breaking down the movements  for volleyball bumps, sets, spikes).  He also includes DIY instructions on making your own equipment, etc (ex: agility ladder using tape and scissors).  His energy and enthusiasm shine.  I plan to use his videos in the future for virtual classes.

- include assignments involving the whole family (get everyone involved may help keep students engaged and motivated!)
- let students choose the fitness activities they enjoy
- provide opportunities for students to design, monitor and evaluate their own physical activity and include a reflection on success and setbacks
- get outside and away from devices! Workout videos are great, but take a break.
- communicate one-on-one with students on a weekly basis, and monthly with parents
- set criteria and rubrics: use a range of assessments including HR monitors, pedometers and GPS devices.

Other great takeaways from this document included a list of tools and resources to enhance online learning, such as helpful video tips for creating instructional videos, recommended online fitness trackers, quiz generators and discussion boards.  

Lastly, SHAPE shared sample lesson plans addressing each of the 5 national PE standards. These lesson plans offer valuable insight in how to overcome the challenges in delivering and evaluating these standards in a virtual environment. This will be a great resource I plan to use in the future with online learning.

Dot Race Fitness was unique.  At first I was note sure how I felt about it, then as the minutes ticked by, I began to see the usefulness of his videos.  I could see younger students liking the activity and game aspects of his delivery style.  

Coach Nutt has useful tips for creating an active game and using basic household items.  Paper towels and rolled up socks.  Her directions, while wordy and time consuming, were basic and clear.  

they all would target a specific audience and learning style.  

The slideshow from PE E-learn had me thinking.  While not every activity is relevant, it started the thinking process.  Just like a spark plug,  the ideas sparked a though and I was able to make a list of how I could develop a game for my own purposes.  For example rock paper scissors, we could do a breakout room and play that game, change the exercises to the body part we are studying, etc.  ]]> 2021-07-27 15:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1662239988 https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1662254778 While watching the YouTube videos, I came across fitness videos that are made with trendy online games.  I would consider using something like this in limited capacity.  I feel that If students needed a push to get moving, using a video that has their favorite characters in it, could be the push they need.

While last year I taught FCS and Health, this coming year I will be teaching Health and 1 PE class. I immediately thought the video's would make it more interesting for students. I also plan to use interactive videos for Health and FCS subjects. Also when looking at the guidelines for k-12 PE, I know those are available for Health and will be useful as well.]]> 2021-07-30 22:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1665254964 https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1665987894 2021-08-01 17:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1665987894 varneyb https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1665988033 Coach Gelardi was one of my go to resource's while teaching remotely. In many cases he took items available in homes that could be turned into PE equipment. The volleyball sit up challenge took a tried and true PE activity and added a fitness component, his paper wall ball allowed students to work on strength and endurance while having fun with a homemade item. I thought he tapped into student and teacher creativity with everyday items making fitness available no matter what circumstances students were in. ]]> 2021-08-01 17:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1665988033 hkimball11 https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1673199924 I absolutely LOVE Coach Giraldi and Mike Morris. I used tons of their videos with my remote learners over the past year and would highly recommend! Their videos of are full of mini tasks that students can do at home using household resources such as paper balls, paper plates, paper towel tubes, stuffed animals, laundry baskets, etc. There is some goal-setting in some of the videos too to help students be accountable!

Something my students were used to doing in class, and I was able to provide that again during remote learning
OPEN is one of the sources I use ALL the time. I use their awesome lessons as a building block to what I teach my students. Their at-home lessons were so helpful at finding a good middle ground for what students had at home or wouldn't have at home. A lot of the other videos on our table are some really great sources, I feel like I used a lot of these over the last year. ]]> 2021-08-16 23:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1681135332 doucettekristin https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1684081094 I am so thankful for the PE community who shared their resources, ideas, and videos throughout remote learning. I personally utilized many of the resources listed throughout remote learning. Some of my go-to's included PE Bowman, PE Depot (Mike Grinola), US OPEN, Kevin Tillerman (Physedreview), Dan Batty, Mike Morris, Ben Prillo, etc. I found my students really enjoyed the active gaming aspect of some of the youtube videos. I enjoyed using a variety of resources to help provide students with choices and used a lot of these resources for either warm-up or as inspiration to create my own challenges for students. ]]> 2021-08-18 13:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/grant129/PE/wish/1684081094
