TECHNO HEALTH PRESENTATION - SCREENCAST [] We have used Jing and Screencast to record and narrate our presentation

The Australian Curriculum syllabus for Year 7 Health and Physical Education requires students to learn about how their bodies work including the digestive system, nutrition and healthy bodies. We have covered the content in the syllabus to create an authentic task through "Yoga Benefits Digestion" for students to complete over several lessons, incorporating technology and building their learning from different resources for students and for the teacher to implement the authentic learning elements into each activity of the task. The task is to learn about yoga, the different poses and how it can benefit their digestion using various technologies.
