Assignment 2A
Posted by Cyndi Howlett on Tuesday, April 12, 2011
This week in the lecture and in our tutorial the next assessment. This assignment is done within a group of four, where we need to make a teaching resource for teacher. We have decided to do physical education in schools, covering a weeks lesson on teaching touch rugby. When I started researching I looked for sources on the internet, inparticularly www.ehow.com . All I needed to do was type in the search bar what I wanted to look for "how to pass in rugby" and then a step by step process appeared. I also found reference in the 'Play with Purpose' by Shane Pill where there are lots of examples on games for different sports. I found that before I started, the assignment seem quite daunting, but as I have a knack for creativity it just bit the bullet and started. Having help from the other group members was also a plus as having someone elses input is always valuable. After the website started to take shape I felt quite proud of my creation. After I completed my part of the assessment, I sent the link through via www.facebook.com where the others could discuss what they though. I find referencing difficult to understand as there is so many ways to do it for so many different types of things (pictures, quotes etc) so when I got to class Matt helped me intext reference my pictures I used. At this point I was so glad I had team members. It is helpful learning the different skills needed to make our teaching resouce webpage. I learnt the skill of making links over text in the last assessment so I decided it would make it more insteresting and easier to navigate through our site. I found really interesting videos on www.youtube.com about how to perform the skills I was discussing, so I decided to incorperate those in the website aswell. I think that that explains it skills better as the teacher can visually see what the students will need to be doing. Over all I am proud of my contribution to the group project and think it would make a great teaching resource.
