Presented by: Antonio Calderón and Deborah Tannehill
This session will share features of a new app designed to enhance teaching of the Senior Cycle Physical Education framework, professional development with teachers’ trialing the framework, and obstacles encountered implementing the app in Irish schools. The “Phyz” is an NCCA and UL pilot project pioneering use of mobile apps to enrich teaching and learning within the Irish Senior Cycle landscape. Given the expertise and knowledge of the CESI community, we hope to engage members of the audience in discussion about using the app to enhance teaching and learning, and how to overcome some of the obstacles we have encountered.
