Learn.ist and Pinterest!

Hey PE students!

I am always thinking about and researching for new ideas to personalize the Surrey Connect PE experience.
My role as your teacher is not to provide all the information and tell you what to learn , but to help you explore the incredible amount of info available and to make connections with your interests...be active...and learn!  For the PE student, these sites offer access to sources + provide a tool to explore, gather, and share their own "boards"...a personalized process of learning!

Question:  How can these sites be used within Surrey Connect P.E. courses?   (as users and/or builders)

Consider:
What are you going to learn?  How are you going to learn it? How are you going to show your learning?  How can you collaborate with other students?  

Comment right here in this blog so others can build on your ideas!
