Technology Lesson Plan Using Ubersense in Grade 10 Physical Education

Technology Lesson Plan • Steffan Reimer • EDUB 2500 A27

Lesson Overview Class: Grade 10 Phys Ed Section: Basketball Academy Length: 75 Minutes

Learners • Students in this section of physical education have all chosen to take part in a basketball only course offered at the school and as such, they are assumed to have some background knowledge of the sport • This lesson is near the beginning of the semester, as part of the fundamental building blocks of the course • Students are already familiar with the main concepts and mechanics of shooting a basketball as they were discussed in the previous class

Learners cont. • For homework after last class, students were askedto download the ‘Ubersense’ app for either Apple or Android (free for both) and create a student user (also free) • While it is not expected that every student has a device capable of using Ubersense, students who do not have access are expected to partner or group up with someone who does

Outcomes/Objectives • S.1.S2.A.2 – “select and refine manipulation skills applying mechanical principles related to activity-specific skills • Students will be able to use correct form when shooting a basketball • Students will be able to correctly identify positive and negative mechanics in shooting a basketball

Safety Considerations • Court is free of any objects • There is only one ball per group out on the court • No jewellery • Proper gym attire is worn

Materials • Basketballs – enough for one per group • Smart devices with Ubersense downloaded

Procedures • Attendance/Partnering Up (0-5 minutes) • While taking attendance, have the students partner up with one partner having a smart device with Ubersense downloaded • If there is not enough devices, have as many groups of three as needed

Procedures • Reviewing Basketball Shot Technique (5-15 minutes) • Have students recall the key fundamental points of shooting a basketball through questioning • Remind them of any points they may have not recalled • Answer any questions they may have on shooting mechanics

Procedures • Introducing Ubersense (15-35 minutes) • With the students in their groups, have the students log into their Ubersense profile and walk through the Ubersense tutorial with them • Answer any questions they may have while going through tutorial

Procedures • Main Activity (35-68 minutes) • In their pairs, have the each student video their partner shooting a basketball • The non-shooting partner will analyze their partners technique and give their partner feedback by slowing their clip down and breaking down every aspect of the shot • Students should be pausing the video and ‘marking up’ the screen to analyze the different aspects of the shot (ie. arm angle, leg use, etc)

Procedures • Main Activity cont. (35-68 minutes) • Teacher should be circulating classroom answering any questions the students may have and helping with Ubersense if necessary • Students will save their analysis of their partner to their profile for hand-in purposes

Procedures • Conclusion (68-75 minutes) • Bring the students back in and explain to them how to hand-in their analysis (emailing it to the teacher through Ubersense) • Ask for feedback on how the activity went, the good bad and ugly • Class dismissed

Assessment • Students will not be assessed on their shot technique, but how well they analyzed and critiqued their partner. • Did they point out both the correct and incorrect mechanics of their partners shot?

Class Follow-Up • There are a number of questions that the teacher must ask of themselves after the class: • Were the selected outcomes/objectives achieved? • Was using Ubersense an effective way of teaching this material? • What helped or hindered learning? • What revisions or adjustments in preparation, presentation, management, or evaluation strategies are necessary or useful? • What, if anything, should be re-taught or re-evaluated?

The End!
