Objectives

(Memorization Game) - (Instant Activity)

Students will be led through a series of activities by the instructor and

will repeat the pattern. First: Jumping Jack and hop on right foot,
Next: Jumping jack and hop on right foot then hop on left foot, Final
students will do a jumping jack, hop on right foot, then left foot, and
then will proceed to a cross jump. The goal is to get a pattern going
and to memorize the given pattern with added exercises each time.

Script

Each student will use the performance cues to go around the cones in
a curved pathway. Going forward the student will dribble with their
right hand weaving in and out of the cones and will go to the end of
the line across from their starting position. The students on the right
baseline will weave in and out of the cones using their left hand and
then pass the ball to the student at the front of the line and proceed to
the end of that line. The student the ball was passed to will then
dribble in and out of the cones using their right hand. There will be
four lines of cones with a total of eight groups; one group at each end
of the lines.

(Plicker Cards) - (Assessment)

Students will be given assigned Plicker cards and will be asked the
following questions:
o

How many times were you able to successfully dribble

through the obstacle course using at least 3 of the 4 cues?

Which of the following is not a performance cue for

dribbling?

How was safety emphasized throughout the lesson?

I received specific feedback today (True/False).

Each answer will be associated with a letter and the student's will
have those exact letters on their card. When the students decide the
answer they feel is correct they will hold that letter up on their card as
they are being scanned by the teachers mobile device.

Reflection
1. What technology did you choose to use and what purpose did it INTEND to serve in the lesson
(i.e., was it used for management, assessment, demonstration, delivery, etc.)?
The technology used in this lesson was Plickers and they served as an assessment tool. The
students answered four questions:
o How many times were you able to successfully dribble through the obstacle course
using at least 3 of the 4 cues?
o Which of the following is not a performance cue for dribbling?
o How was safety emphasized throughout the lesson?
o I received specific feedback today (True/False).
After each question was read, students turned their Plicker card so that their answer (A, B, C,
or D) showed at the top. After each student had their answer, they raised their card high for the
teach to scan the classs response.
2. How did you manage the technology (distribution, set-up, collection, etc.)?
The Plicker cards were assigned to each student prior to class as well as the creation of
questions. While students were participating in the activity, the cards were spread out faced
down in a safe space away from the activity, with their last names displaying on the back.
When the activity was finished, students were asked to find their name on the back of a card
and sit to let us know they were ready. After all the questions were answered, students were
then asked to pass their cards forward into a pile.
3. Did the implementation of the technology go as planned? Why or why not?
The implementation did go as planned because each when the lesson came to a close, each
student present was able to use their Plicker card to answer each question. Additionally, by
scanning each students card, it let us know who was absent and who answered each question
correctly or incorrectly.
4. Could you have taught the same content/completed the same task without the technology?
Explain your answer.
Yes, it would be possible to have administered the assessment without Plickers by using paper
and pencil. The differences would be creating the assessment layout and how we would have
administered the assessment. Without Plickers we would have had to create a handout, which
could take more time and use up more resources to print out enough of them for each student.
Then as effective teachers we must reflect on what we have taught. To do so we would have
to grade the handouts, compile the data ourselves, and maybe make a representation if needed
before reflecting. With Plickers it is all done for us so we can go straight into reflection of the
class.

5. How did the technology enhance the lesson, if at all?

Plickers enhanced our lesson greatly to incorporate our assessment into the class. It is quick,
simple, and it saves resources like paper and pencils. Plickers also has some features to compile
and make a representation of the data that was collected from the student's responses. This
makes it easier as a teacher to be able to reflect on the effectiveness of our teaching by seeing
what students know and feel about their performance during the lesson.
6. If you were to teach this lesson again, what would you do differently with regard to the
technology?
The technology ran smoothly when it came to the phone scanning the cards throughout the
lesson. If there was one thing we would do differently it would be to possibly create a slide, or
big poster with the questions and multiple choices. Some students have better memory than
others, so it would be easier for the students to see what they are answering rather than them
asking the teacher for the question to be read again. This allows students to not have to
multitask by trying to remember every choice and answer the provided question.
