The Teaching Materials Catalogue Project

The aim of the project is to construct a database that maps Physical Education materials. The database will include selected lesson plans, teaching units, annual and multi-annual curricula, games and activities for use in lessons and computerized auxiliary materials.

Materials will be classified by age level, sport, objectives, teaching methods and skills so that specific material can be retrieved as needed. The materials will be stored in a site to be constructed for this purpose.

Students, PE teachers, sport coaches and those interested in physical activity will have access to the database and can use the materials for their professional needs. They can also promote themselves by publishing materials.

Users can rate and respond to materials. They can offer and share their experience with them. In this way all users can see the rating of materials and insights from previous users.

The Hachsharaton, the College`s digital and hard copy newsletter with lesson plans and activities from many sources, will be the first source to be mapped. Additional teaching materials will be uploaded from old journals such as Hachinuch Hagufani V`Hasport, the library, internet sites and books. Pedagogical advisers and lecturers in the various sports can also send in their materials to the database.

The catalogue will offer extensive PE materials in one comprehensive site for all users. It will be maintained and updated on a regular basis.
