How will I teach digital literacy?As I plan out my next PBL lesson "Creating a Unique Crossfit WOD" for my students, I will start by teaching them the ethical use of digital resources. I believe students need to know the proper way to reference the information that they are researching. Copying text from a website to create their crossfit program is plagiarism. Some of the Crossfit WOD are named after fallen American veteran and police officers heroes. I want students to research these popular Crossfit WODs and understand the background of these fallen warriors. Students will have an opportunity to name to their own crossfit workout. However, teaching students about being professional during the use of their technology devices is also important. Students' awareness and the professionalism of the globally connected arena will help them become better digital citizens in their higher education and careers. Since many students are visual learners, I will post signs of the proper usage of researching and referencing information.
Next, I will use a formative assessment such as Kahoot or Quizizz to evaluate my students. Kahoot has been a great digital learning tool for them. Student are engaged and motivated when interacting in the activity. They have demonstrated a high level of competition a few times. I am looking forward to use Quizizz. After using it in class and researching the app, I have saw it is useful for teachers to look at students progression.

Your PBL unit sounds very engaging and relevant. It is very important that students know how to properly research and cite or reference their information. Are you going to create these digital literacy lessons or will you use ideas from other sources? I really like the lessons from Common Sense Media.

I am interested to know how your students will pay respect to our fallen warriors in their lessons. I like your idea of posting signs to help your visual learners. I am not familiar with Kahoot, but I am planning to use Quizizz with my students in math class.

You are absolutely correct that students need to know and understand the legality of their digital use. I really like the fresh approach you are taking in teaching your students, and cannot wait to hear more throughout the semester.

I am so inspired by some of the cool PBL that PE teachers in our district are doing. These teachers, like you, are on the cutting edge of innovation in PE. You mention Kahoot! and Quizizz. Another tool that we'll demo in class that could have a great application in PE is Flipgrid and EdPuzzle.

Good work An. You might want to consider partnering with English teachers and ask them how they would like your students to cite their references knowing that there are an inordinate number of WODs online which are well though-tout in terms of how they increase in difficulty and complexity over time. Consider providing students an opportunity to insert their voice in selecting WODs having them justify why their WOD progression is better suited for muscle development, flexibility, etc.
