#PhysEdSummit 2.0 – Call For Presenters

The #PhysEdSummit Needs You!!!!

The PE community has spoken. The #PhysEdSummit topics have been chosen and now we need YOU, the leaders of the physical education community! If you are interested in facilitating a session please fill out the form below by December 14th: 

#PhysEdSummit Call for Presenters Form

We want our facilitators to think “outside the box”. This is not your normal #PhysEd conference! Please keep in mind PHYSEDagogy’s mission… exploring best practices in physical education. How are you going to model this? What innovative strategies will you use to model great teaching digitally in your session? How can you engage your audience to “see” what you are presenting?  What resources can you provide the audience? What can they take away from your session and use tomorrow in their classes?

Remember everything about this PD opportunity is FREE – from the sessions offered to the guest speakers facilitating sessions. The whole idea of the #PhysEdSummit is to crowdsource a virtual conference. This is an opportunity for the online PE community to come together to create a conference that will discuss best practices and meet the PD needs of all #pegeeks!
