Thanks @KenForde for organizing the first face to face conference I have attended in quite some time. Amazing work! My session was on the #tacticalgames model and how we can move away from traditional approaches to teaching #physed @FISSharks @EduSparkWorld

In grade 7, we have a kangaroo that is passed on at the end of each lesson. Students give it to the next person with reasons, based on our criteria for being an outstanding HPE student. Looks like our kangaroo had a bit of an adventure this time. #physed #hpe #teambuilding

In a #tacticalgames model, game modifications allow for increased student learning of game tactics and strategy. Skill learning can follow. This equipment modification for #korfball in grade 10 allows students to score more goals, and shoot the ball from further back. #physed

This means we can focus on movement patterns for attacking and scoring, which are not possible to learn when students do not have confidence to shoot the ball. Why do we need to use the same equipment in our classes that professionals use? Every subject implements scaffolds!

Furthermore, it increases #inclusion in the class by allowing a range of students to score goals and contribute (not just the athletes). Students with a lower skill level are more likely to experience success, get involved, and more importantly, enjoy the game!
