PE students: here is a new development in PE 10 at Surrey Connect and I am interested in student feedback. This is not an active part of the course yet but I would like to add it in the next few weeks.
I would like to hear comments about this specific idea but would also welcome other suggestions as well.
other suggestion example from a PE10 student and my reply below in green :
"I also noticed this pattern in the logs. In the activity logs, I was required to comment on my approach to the activities, and then discuss it again in more detail in the reflection log. A possible solution to this might be to have students consolidate their thoughts by eliminating the reflection logs, but require an increased level of reflective thinking to be included in the activity log comments."
Maybe change the log format to include space for a reflection comment ....embedded…this is a really good idea! And provide students more opportunities to make the connections-provide examples to personal management skills
Personal PE portfolio journal
You can do this 2 ways:
Your PE portfolio will be graded on how well you do the following: Showcase a variety of activities from the 3 activity categories (rhythmic, games, individual/dual) and also from the 3 primary fitness components (cardio/strength/flexibility) that highlight learning and improvement in the areas of personal fitness, movement skills, and attitudes toward physical activity.
- use the web editor tools (on your computer )to insert and edit items (pics/video) when you create a new journal entry.
- Download the blackboard (free) app to your phone and type in Open School BC in the box, add your login id...then explore your PE course..and try adding items into the PE portfolio se the Blackboard Mobile App on your phone or tablet to create a new journal entry that will be added to your personal PE portfolio in your course. NOTE: you can add items in the app on your phone but can't edit them on your phone...you can do this on your computer.
Student comment that I am re-posting
ReplyDeleteAfter carefully reviewing this blog post I came to many conclusions. First of all I am personally against it, the reason why is I feel it makes my work less detailed since it would be replacing the activity hrs chart which is a very important of our course in my opinion. Another thing I noticed is that, for people who don’t carry around cell phones to the gym this would be quite a hassle since we would have to maintain the journal constantly. On the same point, since it would difficult to maintain for students like me making it worth up to 25% could potentially be disastrous to our marks.
On the other hand, I still think this is a decent idea and so my suggestion is, we keep things the way they are now but for each module we require a minimum of five different pictures that showcase us doing a variety of activities from the 3 activity categories (rhythmic, games, individual/dual) and also from the 3 primary fitness components (cardio/strength/flexibility). These activities would also have to highlight learning and improvement in the areas of personal fitness, movement skills, and in our attitudes toward physical activity. I think if we do this we can bump up the worth of the activity logs that we hand in each module since it would become a regular part of that assignment.
