Tech Task 11- Show and Tell

Show and Tell! This used to be one of my favourite aspects of elementary school. For my web and mobile based app, I am choosing to use "Teaching Games For Understanding" or TGFU.  This app is used only for Physical Education purposes but has been a resource I have been using for my entire student teaching experience. Teaching Games for Understanding is an app you can buy on iTunes, and it is a useful tool for showing the educator games that will not only be fun but help the student get  better understanding of the movement.

I have been using this app since my first year of education and I have used it a lot. The three placements I have had have all been in the gymnasium teaching a wide range of grades from Kindergarten to Grade 12. This app provides tons of different games, gives you the age range you can use the game in for it to be successful, the equipment you need, problems you may encounter, rules of the game, safety, and variations and progressions. On this app you can also go on youtube to see more games they provide for you, a curriculum model, an area where you can put notes on the games and whether they were successful or not, and the ability to share the app with others. The one thing I really liked about TGFU is that you can submit your own game and possibly get it put on the app! How cool is that! I know I will continue to use this resource as it has helped me over the past two years tremendously. Here is the link to the app in the iTunes store, hopefully some of you other physical educators will find it useful!
