=Welcome to the PDHPE Wiki= This wikispace for PDHPE teachers originated at the AIS PDHPE conference at Central Coast Grammar School in May 2009. Since then it has become a useful space for PDHPE teachers to share their ideas and strategies in relation to integrating ICT into PDHPE.

AIS ICT Course - A Digital Journey: ICT tools to inspire PDHPE teachers @ St Catherine's School Waverley on 24th August 2010
Here's the files you will need to "play" in Session 1 First, click here and //**Open**// this of the trip John and Jo created of the City to Surf Here's a cheat sheet to help with if you are interested (it certainly is NOT necessary)
 * Google Earth**

Some movies of how to use Google Earth are found here including a few new ones uploaded Wednesday 25th August Jo and John learnt to make Google Trips by visiting the Google Lit Trips website and playing.

Running Ahead allows you to plot a course and view the terrain and distance of that course. Scribble Maps allow you to do something similar to this without having to use Google Earth. Click here for an example (real, current) trip by a couple and their children around Australia.

Syllabus links for using Google Earth as a T & L strategy include: //Strand 4// Lifelong PA Outcome 4.10 Students learn about: health-related components of fitness //Strand 3// Individual & Community Health Outcome 5.6 Students learn about: healthy food habits (nutrition & fluid replacement for PA) //Strand 4// Lifelong PA Outcome 5.9 Students learn about: planning for regular PA **Stage 6** //Preliminary Core 2// - The Body in Motion How do the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems of the body influence and respond to movement? What is the relationship between physical fitness, training and movement efficiency? //HSC Core 2// - Factors Affecting Performance How does training affect performance? How can psychology affect performance? How can nutrition and recovery strategies affect performance //HSC Option 3// - Sports Medicine How are sports injuries classfied and managed? What role do preventative actions play in enhancing the wellbeing of the athlete? Another idea is to use the City2Surf in **//Stage 6 HSC Core 1 - Health Priorities in Australia//** as a focus for the content area of 'healthy ageing' under the learn about: 'a growing and ageing population' (What are the priority areas for improving Australia's health?). The students could explore the City2Surf 'legends' - people who have competed in every city to surf since its inception 40 years ago [] These participants are now in their 60's and over and would be a good case study to explore the ongoing activities and behaviours that people undertake as they age to reduce the risk of illness and disease and increase their physical, emotional and mental health.
