As an assessment task in ICT we were required to explore the applications of ICT in our teaching methods. For this assessment I worked with a group of physical education teaching students, we had all faced similar challenges in incorporating ICT in practical classes. It was interesting to discuss and reflect on our different experiences with ICT in the schools we had been to and that we had taught in this year. Collectively we were able to come up with several different applications that we had seen, some were familiar ideas and some were new ideas.
It was a really valuable task as it facilitated the sharing of resources and ideas for ICT in practical setting - something we had found difficult to come across! The use of smart phone applications, websites and instructional videos were all discussed and I am sure I will take each of these methods and use them at some stage in my teaching career!

ICT in Physical Education
The following video was used as an instructional video in a class I saw during my placement. I think it's a great way of making the teaching of 'dance' units achievable for all teachers and therefore accessible to all students!
There are some physical education teachers who are not comfortable with or have limited experience in teaching dance and the use of instructional videos can help to bridge any gaps in knowledge and enhance the teaching of those who are experienced. The following video shows a physical education teacher who appears to have many years of experience in dance presenting his choreography to a group of physical education teachers in an informal professional development session. He is clearly highly skilled and and rumored to have had a career in back up dancing prior to studying teaching but I believe that even for an experienced teacher ICT will enhance the delivery.
