Formative Assessment in #PhysEd
Have you ever stopped to think about why you use formative assessment in your physical education classes?
Perhaps you use formative assessment, assessment that occurs during the learning process, to provide your students feedback. Maybe you use it to improve or guide your teaching. Formative assessments can also be used to motivate students and increase student engagement. Read More
Why #PhysEd?
We are creating an awareness around the idea of the #PhysEdSummit – A non-traditional PD day that is coming up on October, 25th! Here are the three rules…
1. Make a 15 second video of yourself answering the question, “Why #PhysEd”?
2. Use the hashtag #PhysEdSummit.
3. Challenge at least one or more people to complete the challenge in the next 24 hours!
Follow the #PhysEdSummit hashtag to check out the responses!
Yes, we did get this idea from the #icebucketchallenge. Don’t panic, no ice is needed! This is not a new idea, just a fun way to get everyone involved!
Call for Proposals
The PE community has spoken. The #PhysEdSummit topics have been chosen and now we need YOU, the #pegeeks of the community!
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 will you provide for 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!
