In this episode of the ConnectedPE Podcast we feature a recording from the 2018 ConnectedPE Online Conference with Dan Haesler. Session Outline: Too many students believe they don't need to learn, or that they can't learn. Professor Carol Dweck contends that this is due to students developing a Fixed Mindset with regard to their capabilities. Dweck argues that learning is stunted and many social issues can arise by having a Fixed Mindset. She says in order for students to flourish, they need a Growth Mindset – a disposition that embraces challenge, seeks out feedback and values effort as the pathway to mastery. Could a Growth Mindset be the key to unlocking our students' potential on PE? And how can teachers and schools cultivate a culture of Growth our approaches to teaching PE? In addition to this, research suggests that the teacher's mindset has a significant impact on the students in their care. How can we address our mindset in order to challenge expectations and improve our ability to recognise potential in every one of our students?

In this episode of the ConnectedPE Podcast we feature a recording from the PRE ConnectedPE Conference webinar with Dr Victoria Goodyear. Session Outline: While there is evidence of considerable growth in the availability and use of digital technologies, we have very little evidence about how these technologies are being used and whether they are optimising student learning. Equally, there is limited evidence on the digital technologies and social media sites young people engage with for learning about health outside of formal educational settings, and the potential impacts of the material accessed on young people's health-related behaviours. This webinar will provide an introduction to what is currently known and not known about how digital technologies can be used to maximise students learning about health Dr Victoria is a Masterclass leader & keynote speaker for the 2017 ConnectedPE Conference in Dubai.

In this episode of The ConnectedPE Podcast we discuss the popular Sports Education Model and how I structure the model within my PE Classrooms, walking you though each step of.. For those unfamiliar, The Sport Education or SEPEP model seeks to provide an authentic means for students to engage in Physical Education. It reflects the practices of social competitions outside of a school context while also working toward building a more student centred learning environment. Success using this model is achieved by giving teachers an opportunity to take a step back from the traditional ‘direct instruction' method ultimately enabling students to guide their own learning with their peers. These values are sought through team affiliation, festivity, responsibility, formal competition, competitiveness, reward and fun. To achieve this, the model drives students to take on roles & responsibilities that are outside the traditional boundaries of physical education. These roles can vary depending on a school's resources, however, include anything from; umpiring, coaching, timekeeping, scoring, media teams, statisticians and much more.   Join us at the ConnectedPE Conference by registering at www.connectedpe.com Can't make it to Dubai?

During this episode of The ConnectedPE Podcast we explore a recording from the recent online conference. During the session I'm joined by Carl Condliffe of www.mystudyseries.co.nz, who highlights exactly what flipped learning in physical education is, why you should flip, and ways you can go about flipping your own classes. The practical nature of the physical education learning area makes it extremely well suited to a flipped classroom approach. The flipped classroom model involves a reversal of traditional teaching, where students are exposed to new learning material outside of timetabled classes. This can be done in a number of ways, but the use of video in the flipped classroom is becoming more popular.
