This document outlines a project to develop and implement interactive resources to enhance student learning in Physical and Health Education (PDHPE). It aims to increase student engagement, provide differentiated learning activities, and improve understanding of health and physical activity concepts. The project involved creating interactive whiteboard resources, using video analysis software called Dartfish, developing a shared resources site on SharePoint, and exploring uses of mobile technology like iPhones. Challenges included software limitations, file sizes, and time constraints, but the resources benefited student learning by improving engagement, differentiation, and skills like analysis. Future directions included continuing development and exploring new uses of the technologies.

5. Interactive Whiteboard
 Year 12 Revision
Activities Benefits to student learning
Syllabus revision - Improves students’ recollection of syllabus points
- Allows syllabus revision to be done in a time efficient manner
- Increased student engagement and focus through healthy team
competition
Deconstructing - Assists students to identify BOS keywords and relevant syllabus
questions content
- Helps students plan their responses
SEXY paragraph - Models responses for students
structure - Students are able to highlight sentences where they can
observe SEXY paragraph structure
- Highlights how to use examples effectively
- Reminds students to make sure that they establish a link
between the syllabus content and the question
Jeopardy Labs - Game centered revision

10. Interactive Whiteboard
 Year 8 “Understanding Drugs” differentiated unit
- A series of IWB lessons that provide core activities as
well as three differentiated options based on Blooms
Taxonomy
- Benefits to student learning:
• Teachers can direct students at the appropriated time to
either the structured, core or extension activity
• Students can work independently through the IWB once
they are downloaded from the intranet or teachers can
choose to do some activities as a whole class and then
allow students to work independently once they reach the
differentiated activities
• Students complete tasks which are most suited to their
ability level and therefore increase their engagement.
• Lesson resources such as video, worksheets, websites are
centralised in one file with the use of hyperlinks.

 Year 10 PASS “Technology and Sport” Task
Task Outline:
• In groups of 4, students filmed from a back
perspective each person performing a tennis serve.
• Students uploaded their clip and a clip of Roger
Federer into Dartfish software
• Students then used the software to isolate key
positions in the serve and compare their technique to
Federer
• Students Completed a written analysis for each step
of the tennis serve, comparing their technique to that
of Roger Federer’s.

 Benefits to student learning:
- Increased students understanding of how
technology can be used to enhance technique
and inform athlete/coaching decisions
- Improved students skills of analysis
- Students enjoyed using the technology
