 it is the first time that I have seen an assesment program like in which records a student's performance then analyzes the performance to give an overall score.

It is amazing

Flipgrid

This is another useful tool for assessment.

With this tool students can create their videos to share with you, teacher can monitor students, communicate with families and other teachers.

Very useful for P.E activities.

In the following link there is a teacher's guide https://static.flipgrid.com/docs/Teacher_Guide.pdf 

And this is a video tutorial https://player.vimeo.com/video/285354491

Try with the students and share your opinions about this tool.

Assessment tools

Wow we have amazing assessment resources for Physical Education in this forum. Thanks a lot Marta for sharing with us.

I'd like to share some general ones, that we can apply not only in P.E but also in other contexts or subjects.

I'm sure you already know some online tools for assessment:

- Kahoot

- Plickers

are the most popular ones, but there are many others.

Share with us your activities with these tools or with others.

I leave here a link with a very interesting blog where you can find a lot of digital tools, videotutorials and practical activities teacher have created.

Cognition article

https://www.advancementcourses.com/blog/pe-activities-to-engage-students

Here you are a very interesting article about cognition and how you can put it into Practice

Marta Liaño

C for Cognition

Cognition is difficult concept to grasp and develeop when planning a lesson. Quite often there is wide gap between the students' cognition and their linguistic abilities.

The students can be confronted by complex concepts which they are able to grasp cognitively but they might lack the linguistic means to express their understanding. To overcome such a mismatch, teachers have to carefully plan what language they need to introduce in order to make learning and thinking possible for the learners without turning the CLIL lesson into a language lesson.

The relationship between language and cognition (thinking and understanding) is complex.

However what we do know is that effective learning involves cognitive challenge and feedback (assessment for learning).

In CLIL settings it is essential to ensure that the language does not get in the way of understanding whilst at the same time it can itself be cognitively demanding. Cummins developed a matrix for exploring the relationship between cognition and language. This has been adapted for CLIL settings. The matrix is a useful tool to audit teaching materials.

The greatest challenge for CLIL teachers is to develop materials and tasks which are linguistically accessible whilst being cognitively demanding.

Laura Riesco

Resources for cognition

The best way to develop cognition skills with the students is creating mindmaps.

Here you have a digital tool to create your own mindmaps, it's easy to use and very useful.

For more information here you have some tutorials https://www.mindmup.com/tutorials/index.html

Edpuzzle

As you have seen in the contents of this module, a good way to develop listening and understanding skills is using videos.

This is a very useful digital tool to use videos with your students, it lets you make a monitorization of the students and create comprehension activities while they watch it.

I hope it's useful for you.

Assessment sheet

Here you are a sample of assessment for a communicative activity 

The Human Square 

Purpose of Activity:

An excellent preassessment, formative, or summative assessment task for cooperative games.

Prerequisites:

Class discussions, team building activities, adventure challenge type tasks 

Suggested Grade Level

3-5

Materials Needed:

Blindfolds, pencils, Assessment Sheet

Description of Idea

The central idea for the Adventure Challenge unit is:

Effectively solving problems requires communication, trust, and an open mind.

The activity that I planned for my group was called The Human Square. I have done versions of this activity many times before and it has generally worked very well.

How to play:

Every student (with exception of two or three who will act as observers) will be blindfolded and spread out around the gym. Stressing safety as being most important, the students are instructed to carefully and gently make their way into the center of the gym (or there about) and meet.

Once all students have met around the center, they must figure out how they can create a human square formation that requires everyone to lay on the ground/floor. They are to remain blindfolded the entire time. Communication is emphasized as one of the keys to being successful in this challenge.

It will no doubt take them a while to accomplish this task, but as teachers, we must let them figure out how to do this on their own and try our best not to get involved. If safety is at stake or total meltdown occurs, the teacher must step in to help. Otherwise, THEY CAN DO IT!!! (I have rarely had a class not be able to complete this task.)

The role of the Observers
Choosing observers is very important as well. The role of the observers is to watch thoughtfully and carefully, noting on paper both positive behaviors that help the team or negative actions that hurt the team. They are instructed to look for examples of trustful/non-trustful actions, positive and negative communication, and examples of people being open-minded during the activity.

At the end of the activity, the observers provide feedback to the group based on what they had witnessed. However, the golden rule that I use for the observers is that they are not allowed to mention a student's name if they are feeding back anything negative. If the comments are positive, a student's name can be used, but not for negative comments.

Assessment Task
Please click below for the assessment task. Essentially, the students must reflect on the activity and jot some notes down regarding how they think Trust, Communication, and an Open Mind played large roles in this activity

Assessment Ideas:

Students must jot down notes on an assessment sheet which is provided and discussed ahead of time. As trust is essential, this activity allows students to reflect on their own actions and the actions of their group members.

Different styles of teaching P.E

What do you think about these teaching styles? 

http://www.supportrealteachers.org/teaching-styles-in-physical-education.html

Do you use them in your P.E lessons? 

Marta Liaño

How do you call...?

Teachers of P.E. sometimes have problems to translate certain expressions such as naming traditional games, riddles or others.

For example, "Piggy in the middle" is a game we call in Spanish "Puntos", as you probably know.

There are many others like "What's the time, Mr Wolf", circle games like "Ring a ring of roses", "Eenie, Meenie, Minie Moe"...

Do you have other games you use in your CLIL lessons?

Here I share a traditional game it's usually played in birthday parties.

You can also find many other games in this website.

Find out about CLIL

This course is linked to another online course titled "New CLIL Methodology", that we offered last term.

Although they are different courses, you can find useful information about CLIL principles and characteristics on that course, which complete the contents in this CLIL for Science. 

Our course focuses on specific aspects that you can apply to your subject, but if you want to deepen understanding of theory about CLIL methodology, I leave the following link with the blog that was made for that course.

I hope you can find useful information that complete some of the concepts we deal with.

Activating CLIL

This is a very interesting video about main concepts in CLIL.

We had the opportunity to work with Rebecca Place last year, in our face to face CLIL course and she is fantastic.
