INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS

It is an educational project that seeks to innovate

in the area of Physical Education through ICT ...

INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS

Specifically, it is proposed to use technology

resources for the benefit of teachers in the
development of content related to gymnastics and
acrosport ...

WHAT IS ITS OBJECTIVE?

Demonstrate how the use of technological resources
currently available (digital camera, TV, DVD), and the
so-called Information Communication and Technology
(Internet, email, ...) significantly improve the quality
of teaching within the PE classroom ...

WHAT CONTENTS ARE WORKED?

Fundamentally, the acrosport is a sport based on
cooperative work, consisting on doing body
compositions with several participants.
On a smaller scale, it provides a base of gymnastics,
including learning elements like somersaults, inverted
balances and jumps on apparatus ...

CONTRIBUTIONS
AcroTIC project has as one on its priorities the "Data
processing and digital competence" development,
which has hardly been worked in the PE class before.

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU NEED?

Depending on the technological resources
available in your high school, you can
develop all the activities that we propose or
at least some of them.
Specifically, the ICT resources necessary
for its development are the following ...

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU NEED?

1-.A set to play the audiovisual or
multimedia presentation guide, using ...

TV + DVD OR
MULTIMEDIA HARD DISK

or

LABTOP
+
PROJECTOR

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU NEED?

2 -. Six digital cameras
(one for the teacher and five for
students) ...

...and a video digital camera...

WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU NEED?

3-. Five PDA...

And ten computers with internet access,

with OpenOffice installed...

WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN YOU PERFORM?

With AcroTIC you can make a lot of exercises using the
Information Technology and Communication resources.
The activities are grouped into 8 categories, that develop all
aspects of teaching acrosport.

SPECIFIC WARM-UP LEARNING

YOUR STUDENTS WILL LEARN TO MAKE THE ACROSPORT

SPECIFIC WARM-UP WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

Through the display of the exercises, students will practise a

list of preparatory exercises at the start of each session, in a
systematic and organized way...

and they should be able to perform them independently,

without any external help.

SECURITY BASIC CONCEPTS

SAFETY STANDARDS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

ASPECTS TO PERFORM ACROSPORT ACTIVITIES WITHOUT
RISK...

Students will learn to adopt security measures according to

the task, using specific materials and knowing the procedures
to prevent falls and injuries ...
ANALYSIS

and making the explanations on-screen, the assimilation of

concepts by students is higher, improving the level of
understanding of the task. And with images recording , it
assesses the degree of adequacy.

GYMNASTIC SKILLS ASSESSMENT

GYMNASTIC ELEMENTS LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT IS

VERY IMPORTANT TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF
PERFORMANCE ...

In this activity, students will make a review of the basic

gymnastic elements (rolls and balances) and proceed to the
acquisition of other more complex elements (side and front
carthwheel, jumps in apparatus, ..)

Screen images help the

comprehension exercise,
and recording of
execution helps in the
evaluation process.

STATION CIRCUIT

PERFORM THE EXERCISES IN CIRCUIT WITH THE HELP OF

ICT FOR EXPLANATIONS IMPROVES STUDENT
FEEDBACK ...

Showing graphically exercises, students will have a clearer

idea of what to make ...

Furthermore, using handheld computers like PDAs or Pocket

PCs, students have more autonomy in their execution and can
bring their own pace of performance.

ERROR CORRECTION

USING ICT, STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO DETECT MISTAKES

AND MAKE CORRECTIONS ...

Using digital cameras, students can capture acrosport images

compositions and analyze them through the laptop screen or
the hard disk multimedia ...
CORRECTION

In addition, the immediate display of execution allows a better

understanding of their actions and mistakes.

DEVELOPMENT OF COMPOSITIONS IN GROUP

TO PERFORM ACROSPORT COMPOSITIONS, A

PROGRESSION IN NUMBER WILL BE CARRIED OUT,
STARTING WITH TWO PEOPLE TO END IN LARGE GROUP.

Several models of making the compositions will be presented.

Students must reproduce the proposals in one or fulfill the
conditions listed in the other ...
REPRODUCTION

CONDITION
Four
components
with at least
two trucks

Compositions are displayed on screen, and at the end of the

session will be compared with the image of the one made by
each group.

BODY COMPOSITIONS PROPOSED BY STUDENTS

STUDENTS WILL LEARN TO CREATE ORIGINAL
COMPOSITIONS, DESIGN THEM VIA COMPUTER AND
PRESENT THEM IN CLASS TO BE MADE BY HIS
CLASSMATES.

Through the approach of homework, students will create a

series of compositions. In class, using ICT as a tool, they will
make the design using a graphic design program ...

...to then send the figures online through the Moodle platform,
and to present them in class the other classmates.

BUILDING FAMOUS MONUMENTS

THE STUDENTS SHOULD CREATE ACROSPORT

COMPOSITIONS THAT REPRESENT A MONUMENT. AFTER
THIS, THEY MUST SHOW IT IN THE CLASS IN ORDER TO
BE BUILT BY OTHER CLASSMATES.

This group work, designed to be done off duty, allows to

develop creativity using ICT by students...

...Like in the previous activity, the students will use graphic

design tools, like the Roudneff program, and Moodle
platform to send the exercises...

HOW IS THE ASSESMENT CARRIED OUT?

Obviously,
the
evaluation
is
based
students'executions within the class ...

mainly

on

... but without forgetting teamwork ...

... the security measures ...

... and development of digital competency ...

WHAT TOOLS ARE USED FOR EVALUATION?

One of the main advantages of using ICT focuses on the
possibilities offered by the evaluation process ...
... analyzing the images of the
compositions made ......
making the evaluation using
templates on a PDA ...

... or evaluating the presentation of

student work through ICT ...

ACROTIC IN EDUCATION
The existence of this project is proof that physical education
advocates the use of ICT, making our area a landmark in
educational innovation ...
