A TGfU App to support teachers in implementing TGfU: A response to one of our Twitter followers call for ‘Suggestions and Opinions’

A recent Tweet by one of our @TGfUInfo Twitter followers @bencolley7 was brought to our TGfU SIG executives’ attention and spurred this blog post to respond to his call for ‘suggestions and opinions’ regarding his proposed Piktochart: "changing the way we teach’’.

Colley, a 3rd year pre-service teacher at the University of Queensland, Australia, raises concerns regarding the current support for Secondary PE teachers in their implementation of TGfU. He proposes the creation of a TGfU App, to provide PE teachers with assistance in planning and implementing TGfU and calls for ‘suggestions and opinions’ regarding his Piktochart, providing a summary of his proposal.  

Colley proposes that this App is a ‘potential stepping stone in revolutionizing the way we as HPE teachers conduct our practice’ and makes some bold claims for its potential:
  • Provide teachers with assistance on how to implement TGFU 
  • Provide lesson ideas available for specific sports
  • Provide information on how to deliver TGfU to students to ensure they are able to comprehend. 
  • Provide a platform for secondary teachers
In response to Colley’s proposal, the TGfU SIG executive have provided some suggestions and opinions in order to provide further insight and direction for such a grand task. We also call upon our TGfU SIG community to respond to Colley’s proposal, providing him some suggestions an opinions for his way forward.
