Using Prezi in Year 12 Physical Education

Mr Dave Ralston (Teacher of Physical Education) has been using an innovative approach to assessment of a senior Physical Education achievement standard. The achievement standard requires students to demonstrate an understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills. The assessment opportunities for this topic are broad:

“For this Achievement Standard, students can present their assessment in any way they choose. Some boys in the class are doing presentations on PowerPoint or Prezi, some are doing essays, and some are doing a speech.”

Using a range of different assessment opportunities caters for the needs of different learning and work preferences.

“Many boys like using technology and computers so the majority of the students are using Prezi or PowerPoint. Prezi is particularly good for an assessment such as this one as it allows students to 'zoom in' on important parts of their presentation.
