Physical Education Webinar – August 
Transcript

Slide 1
Good Afternoon and welcome to the physical education webinar. My name is Nichole Wilder and I am the state level physical education specialist at the Florida Department of Education. Also presenting today will be my colleague Ashely Palelis who is the DOE Computer Science Specialist.

Slide 2
Everyone is currently muted and will not be able to answer questions live. Please submit any questions you have during the webinar in the question box and we will try our best to answer as many of the questions that come in as we can. Please note if there are some that we cannot get to we will take down your question, name, and email address and get back to you. If you are having trouble with your audio please call the number on the screen and enter the access code.

When we get to the presentation on google forms, it would be helpful if you had either a second screen on your computer or a second device like a phone or tablet in order to participate in some interactive google forms.

This webinar is being recorded and a link will be posted to the recorded webinar on the DOE physical education webpage. Feel free to share the link with teachers or administrators within your school districts. 

Slide 3
This will be the first quarterly webinar for the 2017-2018 school year. Today’s webinar will include a DOE update, the sharing of free standards-based physical education resources and a presentation on the creation and use of google forms. All of the quarterly webinars will follow a similar format, with a majority of each webinar being focused on applicable physical education topics or best practices such as CPALMS, adapted physical education, and the development and use of scales and rubrics in our content area.

Slide 4
As many of you are already aware, House Bill 7069 was passed during the 2017 legislative session and was signed into law by Governor Rick Scott. This law went into effect on July 1, 2017 and I am going to highlight the two areas that most closely impact physical education. 

The high school personal fitness competency exam that has traditionally been paired with two seasons of interscholastic sports was eliminated beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. Students who complete two seasons of JV or Varsity interscholastic sports are no longer required to also pass a competency exam in order to waive the 1.0 credit physical education graduation requirement. The question has come up from several districts asking for clarification on implementation for students who entered 9th grade prior to 2017. When I asked for clarification for that scenario, I was told that since it was not directly addressed in the language of the legislation it would be a local school district decision on whether or not current 10th – 12th graders would have to pass the competency exam in order to complete the interscholastic sports waiver. Each school district will also need to update their student progression plan to reflect this legislative change.

The second area that could potentially impact physical education is the requirement for 100 minutes of recess each week for students in grades K-5. In the DOE memorandum that went out from Chancellor Hershel Lyons on July 14, 2017, it was stated that the 150 minutes of physical education that is required in 1003.455 is standards-based instructional time. The 100 minutes of recess is defined as supervised, safe and unstructured free play. In many Florida school districts, elementary schools utilize classroom teachers to provide a portion of the 150 minutes of physical education each week. Schools will need to ensure that the 150 minutes of physical education are standards-based instructional time and separate from the 100 minutes of unstructured free-play recess that is now required in addition to physical education. 

Florida statute requires that each school district submit its physical education policy to the Department of Education any time a revision is made. Due to the legislative changes in HB 7069, the Department will ask each school district to submit their updated physical education policy by December 1, 2017. This will give you the opportunity to update the current policy and go through any School Board adoption procedures that are required within your school district. These policies are then required to be linked on the DOE physical education webpage.

Slide 5
SHAPE Florida is the Society of Health and Physical Educators, which is our state organization for physical education and health education.  

I wanted to make sure everyone was aware that beginning June 1st, SHAPE Florida will be providing $1 Million dollars of liability coverage with each membership. Membership rates are currently $60 each year, and this liability coverage also includes when a member is coaching. If you are not currently a member and are interested in joining you can go to the SHAPE Florida website shown here on the screen.

The annual SHAPE Florida conference will be held in Orlando on October 19-21. Pre-conference workshops will be held on Thursday, October 19th and the conference sessions will be held on October 20-21. Registration is now open and is $120  if you register by  Sept. 29th and will increase to $150 if you register after September 29th.

Slide 6
Each quarterly webinar, I will feature one CPALMS resource and one additional free physical education resource. The CPALMS resource I am featuring today is Technology in Motion. 

Technology in Motion is a physical education online training module that has recently been added to CPALMS. This module was developed for physical education teachers to learn more about how to integrate technology in their classes. Teachers will learn about a variety of free technology tools that can enhance standards-based instruction and assessment. Specific examples and resources are included for K-12 physical education. 
 
This module includes the following objectives:
Utilize technology to teach and assess physical education standards and benchmarks
Understand the benefits and role of technology in the classroom
Participate in physical education activities that incorporate technology
You can access the module directly from the link on this slide once the recorded webinar and powerpoint are posted on the DOE webpage. 
Slide 7
The other free resource featured today is the Online Physical Education Network. OPEN is a free online physical education resource that includes resources for K-12 physical education, as well as Pre-K and afterschool. Each module that is developed is aligned to both the SHAPE America National Standards and Grade Level Outcomes, as well as Florida’s physical education standards. I have completed an alignment between the activities in the OPEN modules and Florida's physical education standards and found that over 80% of the module activities are in direct alignment with our Florida standards. All of the resources are available for free at openphysed.org. 

Slide 8
Here is a screen shot of what is included in the soccer skills module developed for grades 3-5. You can see that the modules include lesson plans, assessment tools, teacher reflections and academic language cards. The feature that is extremely helpful is that all of the documents and resources are able to be downloaded as either a Word document or as a PDF. This gives teachers the ability to made edits or changes electronically they feel are necessary to meet the needs of their students.

Slide 9
I now want to transition to our presentation on the development and use of google forms. Ashley Palelis is currently the Computer Science Specialist here at DOE, but she is also a former physical education teacher. She is the perfect storm of content knowledge in physical education as well as having gone through extensive training to be Google certified. And I will now turn it over to Ashley.

Thanks, Nichole. Google Forms is a great tool and is easy to use. You already completed a Google Form if you went to the link at the beginning of the webinar. You can use Google Forms to collect information from your students and even use it as an assessment tool because it has a quiz feature. All right, let’s get started!

Slide 10
For the next 30-45 minutes that we are together, we will hopefully be able to accomplish the following objectives:
•	Utilize technology to assess physical education standards and benchmarks
•	Understand the benefits and role of technology in the classroom
•	Learn how to create and share a Google Form
•	Convert a web address to a short URL
•	Locate and use Google Form data

Slide 11
To start out, please complete this poll question. Which of the following is an example of technology integration in physical education? Do you think it’s a teacher creating a presentation using PowerPoint, a teacher grading the overhand throw using an iPad, students using an iPad to answer questions, or students watching a video on the Super Bowl?

Slide 12
Before we learn how to create a Google Form, I want you get a chance to see what they are like and what the possibilities are when you use this tool. 

Slide 13
The first thing I am going to have you do is go to a Google Form and complete the self assessment that you see. If you have a second device, type in the address you see on the screen in blue. If you do not, write down the address and open a new tab in your browser to see the Google Form. This self assessment related to this second grade standard on striking an object continuously. Let’s take about 2-3 minutes to do this and if you have any questions along the way, feel free to type them in the chat box. 

Slide 14
You should have seen something like this on your screen. I hope you were able to complete the dribbling self assessment. In this Google Form you saw three different types of questions: short answer, checkboxes, and multiple choice. Google Forms has a lot of possibilities when it comes to the types of questions you can use. The great thing about Google Forms is that students can complete them using any device and you do not need a device for every student. Maybe you only have one device or a set for a small group, then you can use them at a station for students to complete the survey, assessment, or quiz. Ok, let’s move on to a different type of Google Form. 

Slide 15
Do the same thing as before, type in the address on your screen (remember it’s case sensitive) and complete the Google Form. This time you will see a quiz. This quiz aligns with the high school standard on heat illnesses. The quiz will allow you to see your score at the end. 

Slide 16
You should have seen a Google Form like the screenshot you see here. This time, the Google Form graded most of the questions automatically, the ones that were multiple choice. And, once again, Google Forms can be completed on any device and each student does not need their own device. Students can complete Google Forms in the library and even on their own device at home. 

Slide 17
Now that you’ve seen some Google Forms, I want to show you how to create one. I’m not a fan of going to trainings and the presenter tells me that I need to figure it out on my own afterward because I rarely have time. So, I want to take some time to show you exactly how it’s done. Of course, the more you do the better you will get. 

Slide 18
As I demonstrate, feel free to follow along with the demonstration and/or feel free use your own device to make a Google Form while you watch. This is of course easier if you have a second device or two screens. If not, you will learn quite a bit from just following along as I demonstrate. Also, there is a link to a one-pager near the bottom of the screen. This provides simple instructions to get you started. 

Slide 19
Now that you have created a Google Form, you have to be able to get the form to your students or those you want to collect information from. 

Slide 20
Google Forms are shared through a link. You get the link by clicking on the button that looks like an eye at the top when creating your Form. The two easiest ways that I share with people to share their form with others is a short URL and a QR code. Today, I’m going to share how to create a short URL. If you want to learn more about QR codes, I encourage you to check out the module on CPALMS “Technology in Motion” that Nichole shared earlier. 

Slide 21
A short URL is basically a web address that has been condensed so people don’t have to type in a long website address. A URL shortener is an application that converts the URL to the shortened format. 

To create a short URL, since we are using Google, we are going to use the Google shortener. 

Slide 22
The reason you create a Google Form in the first place is to capture data. Let’s talk now about how we can find our data in our Google Form. 

Slide 23
Google Forms can provide you with different types of data including general information for the survey, quiz, or assessment overall and also individual data for each person who responded. A Google Sheet, like an Excel document, can also be created with the data. 

Slide 24
Our last poll is asking you for your input on the time of the day for our future webinars. I want to make sure that they are offered at a time that will allow for maximum participation and we will either continue in the afternoon or offer a morning webinar if you feel that would work better. 

Slide 25
An email follow up will be sent out to those who registered and/or participated in this webinar. This email will include a link to the recorded webinar, as well as instructions for those interested in receiving a completion certificate to submit to their school district to request points for recertification. Please note that each local school district makes the determination as to whether or not points will be awarded, and this certificate is only intended to assist you in verifying participation.
