Course overview:
We are at a time in the world in which new technologies and the environment are two of the most important issues that surround us, so, we will learn to educate on these issues, since the digitization of the methodology and care of the natural environment are two of the main objectives of this course.
Although it is more related to the subject of physical education, all subjects and all levels (primary, secondary, vocational training …) have a place in it, as we will work different digital tools, or gamification in the classroom, which can be applied in any area. Thus, we will also see the possibility of offering our contents in other scenarios, changing completely the old methodologies.
Sports orientation will be used to present the contents. And digital applications will be used for the creation of tests, which the participants will find within these orientation activities, which can be related to any subject. All this will have a direct or indirect application in your subjects, since materials will be developed that will serve to apply them in class and, of course, this learning will serve to give us ideas and create new innovative materials, using these digital tools.
We will find activities in the course, to learn to use these digital tools, and outdoor activities, including activities in nature, where we will promote the care of the natural environment.
Learning outcomes:
The course will be structured based on the following general objectives, which will be developed by the secondary objectives set out below:
1 To improve the digital teaching skills for a higher quality of teaching, adapting to the new didactic methodologies.
1.1 To learn and to put into practice the application of «gps orienteering», to create routes in different natural environments.
1.2 To elaborate maps for the app “gps orienteering”
1.3 To use “Genially”, a free tool to make web sites.
1.4 To see the possibilities offered by «Canva» for the creation of different types of documents (A4 documents, presentations, files for social networks…).
1.5 Learn how to use other digital tools.
2 To use the environment as a setting for our teachings, promoting its care and conservation.
2.1 To carry out orientation tours in the natural environment, as a vehicle for the design of activities related to the field of each teacher.
2.2 Encourage the care and conservation of the natural environment when carrying out the activities.
3 Gamify our teachings.
3.1 To design and carry out tasks using new methodologies based on digital media.
3.2 Use digital tools to design activities, based on the scope of each teacher, motivating for the students.
Methodology:
Methodologies based on digital tools will be used all the time. We will work with specific applications to create orientation activities, and more general applications such as Canva or Genially, to develop different types of documents that can be used in multiple areas.
On the other hand, we will promote collaborative work in small working groups, encouraging interaction among participants, learning the use of the tools to subsequently put into practice what they have learned by creating simple activities and testing other groups.
In addition, we will learn methodologies based on gamification, offering the contents and activities in the form of a game, to be able to use this system with the students.
