Multimedia Response

After our face-to-face workshop on how media can tie into the classroom in various ways, I learned a lot about the benefits involved. I really like the idea of having a classroom of students getting the opportunity to learn about another culture through video conferencing. I also realized the work involved in making this technology based idea work in a classroom. I feel that because so many things could go wrong, such as picture or sound, I would be hesitant to include multimedia often. It may be just because the idea is new to me and therefore I am a little nervous about using it. I hope one day I can incorporate lots of it into my lessons as I do feel it can greatly enhance learning. Below is my last assignment.


Lesson By: Tamara Craft

Title of Learning Object: Developing footwork skills and balance

Subject: Physical Education

Grade Level: 10

Amazing Soccer Moves URL:

Description of multimedia:
The website about is a short video clip of various soccer players and their amazing soccer moves. A lot of the video focuses on footwork. There are a few other sport video clips available to view on this site but the video clip titled “Amazing Soccer Moves” is the video this lesson will be targeting.

Description:
I would use this video clip to show the student what footwork and practice can look like. I would show the video clip to the class at the beginning of the P.E lesson as a hook to get the students interested in working on their soccer, specifically their footwork. I would then break down a few of the moves that were shown on the video clip and get the student to put it into practice.

Planning and Prep:
As this is a gym class I would not let the students look at the website individually but rather I would have a computer and projector set up either in the gym or classroom before heading to the gymnasium and I would get the students to view the website as a class first. To prepare I would ensure that the website was working properly and that I had an alternative site incase something went wrong. I would also ensure that the volume was working properly by testing the equipment ahead of time. I would watch the video clip and pull out various moves that I would later highlight to the class and work on them in the gym. I would ensure that there were enough soccer balls for each student or if there wasn’t enough available I would ensure that there was another activity planned and the class could take turns using the sport equipment. For the lesson itself I would break down the footwork skills that I wanted the class to work on. I would relate the skill to the video clip that we watched ahead of time. I would set up stations where the students would be working on a different skill depending on the area. When the students finished all four stations they would be allowed to find a partner and work on a passing drill. The amount of time left at the end of the lesson and as well as the students behavior would determine if I would let the class participate in a leisure game of soccer.
