Online PE…is this for real? How to solve the dilemma that so many schools and teachers are facing Coleen Parmer Health and Physical Education Teacher ELANCO School District Garden Spot High School
Initial Thoughts… • ONLINE PE discussion with a partner • What are your initial reactions to Online PE? • Why are you attending this session? (what do you want to get out of this session?) • Why is there a need for it? Why are districts doing it?
ONLINE PE---WHY? • CYBER SCHOOLS (MONEY) • CHOICES • ADVANCEMENT • REMEDIATION (I know..really?)
ONLINE PE---What it’s not • A replacement for PE teachers • The best placement for MOST students • The answer for most students • The easy credit option
ONLINE PE..the evolution at ELANCO • Started with an idea about online learning coupled with a need to get money back to our district that was being allocated to OUTSIDE Cyber schools. • PE was approached in the second strand of this initiative. We wrote our own course on Moodleand then used APEX as well. • Blended the course the next year with Moodle. • Using Canvas with APEX currently but have a long range goal of offering cyber completely through our network. Discuss– what are your schools doing right now?
