Welcome to the BTEC Sport course. During the the next two years, you will be using lots of different technologies, websites and online tools to help you learn and present your work. Some of your lessons will also be 'flipped'. This means that the content that you would normally have been expected to learn in the classroom, will be learnt from home using the videos and resources provided by your teachers. This is quite exciting as it will allow for more time to be spent in lessons completing coursework (and better grades), more 'hands on' activities and hopefully more practical lessons.
Below is a list of websites that you need to sign up to, which will be used regularly when presenting your work. You will also receive a 'business card' from me which will include my email address, the PE twitter username, the web address to this blog and a space to record your passwords.
You should register to all of the websites below using your school email address (yourusername@grid.johnwarner.herts.sch.uk):
Future posts will include content, resources and videos that you must watch/read/follow further instructions before our lessons in September. All of this work will go towards Unit 1: Fitness for Sport & Exercise. For the first time, this unit will be tested externally. This means that to complete the unit, you will need to pass an online test. Don't worry though, as the majority of units are assessed internally (coursework).
Please make every effort to complete this work and register for the sites above. It won't take up too much of your time and I will always try to make the content as interesting as possible.
