Unit Overview and Expectations
In this unit, are going to bring everything we learned in this mini-course together. As we have learned, technology in physical education can is very important. We have learned and discussed many different applications that can be used in physical education. Those applications cover a wide area of content that we cover in physical education. We have also had various discussions about technology in physical education, and how to implement iPads and apps into the curriculum. In this unit, gives us a chance to tie everything we have learned into our own classrooms.

Learning Activities
Activity 1
Lesson Plan
When filling out the lesson plan, please try to keep your favorite lesson as original as possible. I do not want to see a brand new lesson around the technology. I want to see how you can implement the technology into your favorite lesson. We are using technology to supplement learning, not to make our lessons based around technology. So please make sure that the lesson is how you would teach it in the gymnasium. Then think about how you can implement the iPad into the lesson. Fill out the lesson plan. You can use the iPad or other device to look up the standard(s) if needed.
Activity 2
Discussion
In a larger group, we are going to discuss:
· How did you implement the iPad into your favorite lesson?
· What is your favorite lesson?
· Did the iPad strengthen or weaken your favorite lesson?
· Did you include other apps we didn’t cover in your favorite lesson?
· Questions or comments?
Activity 3
Feedback Form
Every received a feedback for as well. Please fill it out, being honest with your answers. I hope to use to this course in other professional development settings, so I want to improve the mini-course where needed. Also, feel free to include other comments you think I should be aware of at the end.
