• Technology for the Physical Education Teacher Workshop & Certification

    Ed Tech Tools to enhance your educational impact

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

This online workshop has been re-envisioned as a face to face workshop to take place in Hong Kong on November 10th

Registration will open for that soon.

Join Andy Hair for an exciting journey on meaningful and fun ways to use technology to enhance educational outcomes.

Despite the fact that many technology-based teaching strategies and tools successfully engage students and develop their abilities, many teachers have trouble integrating technology into the classroom.

Sometimes introducing a certain platform is too challenging. Or perhaps it won’t function on your equipment. Despite the difficulties, you probably want to take advantage of what educational technology has to offer.

This workshop will provide an overview of a variety of creative solutions to employ technology in your classroom, choosing the ones that work best for you and your students.

Facilitator

Andy Hair

Physical Education & Movement Coach

Known for my high energy and youthful personality, I am a Physical Education and Movement Coach based in Geelong, Australia. My goals in life are to see students excel, achieve their dreams, have confidence and enjoy everything

they do. My PE motto is DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE. I live an extremely active life. I am passionate about endurance pursuits, pushing myself to my limit every single day. I am known for my high energy and passion in life and find my excitement around like minded and active people. My life’s experiences have shaped how I wake up and see the world everyday. I embrace life and face it head on.

My legacy as an educator is to see children lead a healthy and active lifestyle, being the best they can be and reaching as far as they can with what they are given.

It is my view that every child I teach is a world champion and together we have to discover which world champion they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long it will take to complete an initiative will depend on if you are starting from scratch or adapting an existing document based on what you learned in the workshop. For some this might be a relatively short period of time for others it could take longer. We would estimate between 2-5 hours.

You will receive feedback based on assessment rubrics in which you need to attain “meets” on all elements. There will be no “score” issued

Resubmission is allowed for a $50USD resubmission fee.

Can I submit a work that I have worked on collaboratively?

Yes but you need to clearly explain in your cover reflection what your direct contribution was.
