Currently there are schools within Australia and Queensland that are grades 7 - 12 and in 2015 most schools will be changing to this format. The "Essential Learnings" documents are what teachers currently work from to make sure that they are teaching their students the correct content areas attributed to the subject. The "Standards" can be applied to all Key Learning Areas and give the teacher a "Standard" from which to mark assessment.

Y﻿ouTube contains a seemingly endless amount of clips that can be used in the classroom. To either demonstrate techniques, learn a different sport or to simply add some comedy to the classroom environment, YouTube is the answer. This is also a site in which students have great exposure, and therefore can be directed to in order to research further information for their classes (N.B. The given URL is merely an example of a resource that could be used).

In addition to Youtube's effectiveness in class, I would like to share an experience which I used during my last PRAC. I was teaching a health unit to Year 9 HPE Students, and to provide a different teaching style, I found some really good clips which engaged the majority of students. Humorous videos of sporting flunks were used in the beginning of the class to increase enjoyment and settle down the students, whereas the use of 'ankle taping' demonstrations and CPR instructions, also applied to most students; especially those whom appreciate technology.

This US resource allows learners to explore nutrition. Users can choose starting weights and health conditions and are then required to construct menus, decide what to eat and what to avoid, how to exercise, and run a restaurant business to serve the members of the community.

The game takes into account socio-economic influences on health, helping the player to recognise the interconnected and interdependent nature of health and it's aspects. It also aims to help explain the long term consequences of everyday behaviours in a personal health context, a concept which many students don't quite grasp. The relatively simple interface is easy to understand and explore. This game would best be suited to younger students.
