My plan for my 21st century competency dealt with critical thinking and collaboration in my Physical Education 9 class. The assignment I had students participate in was in designing a game that involved offensive and defensive strategies. The students also had to brainstorm game objectives, physical skills being used, teamwork skill, game rules, penalties, and scoring system. Before we began developing our games, we looked at the evolution of sport. For instance, we looked at how volleyball and badminton scoring systems have changes in the past 20 years. We also looked at sports like hockey and football and the rule changes from the early days of the sport to what we see today. Finally, students developed a game and taught it to the class. They thought about what worked well and what did not and adjusted their games according to their findings.

When students create digitally, that doesn't mean they can't interact face to face. The digital gallery walk blends digital and face-to-face learning.
Here's how it works: 1. Students create a digital artifact of their learning. 2. When everyone is finished, students display their work on their screens. 3. Students stand up and leave their devices on their desks. 4. They circulate the room, stopping at their peers’ desks (and devices) to check out their work.
(This could be applied to professional learning as well)
It's that simple. Check out this post for more details!

"Do Yoga with Me is one of my personal favourite sources for good home workouts, obviously of the yoga variety! Many of their classes are filmed outdoors in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. The level of instruction is top-notch and there are videos that focus on pretty much every part of the body (e.g. hips, hamstrings, back, etc.), so you can target the area that you need to work on most."

In the first part of the activity, each student chews a piece of gum until it loses its sweetness, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days before weighing it to determine the amount of mass lost. This mass corresponds to the amount of sugar in the gum, and can be compared to the amount stated on the package label. In the second part of the activity, students work in groups to design and conduct new experiments based on questions of their own choosing. These questions arise naturally from observations during the first experiment, and from students' own experiences with and knowledge of the many varieties of chewing and bubble gums available.
