Software such as Inspiration, movie maker and even programs in microsoft office such as publisher. On the net, webquests, podcasts and interactive games are highly effective cognitive tools.
Examples of games for PDHPE could be, for example, a golf game where the player actually swings a golf club at a tee, and then they watch on a large screen their "ball". The game technology measures the strength and style of the shot to realistically place the ball on the green.
There are plenty of fantastic real life videos, and graphic 3D simulations of the various systems of the human body, which provide fantastic insight and amazing visual and audio learning opportunities on the net which cater for various intelligences and learning styles.
eg 1:The Human Body http://www.medicdirect.co.uk/virtual_body/default.ihtml?step=10
This site provides a 3D view of the major structures of the body, clearly demonstrating major blood vessels etc.... It is very good, however it lacks any sort of interactive component- with more time I think i could find better. Showing the images on this site would be good at use at the introduction of the lesson, to ignite interest and informt he students about what they will be learning.
eg 2: The Human Body http://www.innerbody.com/image/skelfov.html
This site is slightly more interactive than the medic direct site, but still not fantastic. This site provides diagrams of the major systems of the body. You move you mouse over the structures and a box comes up with the name of the blood vessel/bone/organ and a brief description. However it's not very interesting to look at and can be a bit confusing for some of the structures.
eg 3: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody
fantastic site, loads of quality resources
