Improve skill and performance in the Leaving Cert PE programme with iPad 1 year into the first phase of the new Leaving Certificate PE programme, we spoke to PE teacher Shane Davey who has been using iPads to complete the digital analysis section of the programme in Castleknock Community College. Here he gives us his honest insights and tips for optimising PE skills and performance using digital technology. The Benefits of the new LCPE ProgrammeWith 50% of the LCPE course focused on the physical activity project and performance assessment, not only does it take the pressure off students to perform in one final exam, it places the focus on practical skill building and teaches students how to analyse and improve theirs and their peers performance using digital technology.
