EDU 255 – Spring 2011

Lab A1

Pre-Teaching

  1. Find out which half of the gym you will be on.
  2. You will have about 4-5 minutes to teach a micro-lesson on your sport skill.
  3. Choose to teach any skill with or without any of the available equipment. (e.g. basketball free-throw, soccer heading the ball, basketball pass, jumping jack, etc.)

Teaching

  1. When your turn comes, the camera will start rolling. You may not ask your group to gather equipment before you begin your lesson.
  2. You will be given a one-minute warning and at the end of your alloted time, the video will be stopped.
  3. Once you’ve completed your lesson, please return all equipment to the center of the gym so that others may use it if needed.
  4. Once all teacher-candidates are done, and if there is time, we will do a quick debrief on some of the positive teaching elements.

Post-teaching

  1. Find your video on our YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/rockstarpe )
  2. Grab the embed code from your video (Click here to watch how to get embed code - http://screenr.com/02d) and paste it into your blog post (HTML tab) so that everyone can watch you teach without having to leave your blog.
  3. You will need to watch your video(s) online and reflect on what you did well, what you need to work on, and especially on how your observations will impact and improve student learning. This reflection will need to be on your blog along with at least 3 pictures from your lesson and all your videos embedded into a single post.
