How to Use Sport as a Means to Acquire Life Skills, Including Strategies of Communication with Families

A Toolkit for Teacher of All Subjects

6. Use of technology to promote transferable skills
The use of technology to promote key skills through physical activity and exercise might be improved through two lines of activities:
- the availability of a wide range of documents (videos, testimonials, guides) useful to stimulate teachers’ reflection on teaching activities to be designed and implemented in the curriculum and beyond.
- the use of technologies both by teachers and students to communicate the educational paths and activities carried out which relate to the promotion of transferable skills. These activities should be connected with concrete projects and educational paths (physical wellbeing, lifestyle, strengthening of relations, spirit of entrepreneurship)

Transferable skills you can acquire by playing sports are numerous, for example understanding the value of teamwork, having a sense of responsibility, respecting rules, solving problems, being motivated and motivating, being organized. The use of technology can facilitate the development of these skills:
When talking about technology, it is natural to refer to the “class 2.0”, that is, the digital classroom. There are some European “twin-projects” such as the project “Escuela 2.0” in Spain and the project CAPITAL in England
In 2.0 classes, each student is equipped with multimedia support such as personal PC or tablet. Each student is responsible for what the school offers him, he must guard it with care, use it properly, follow the rules. Students in upper secondary schools have the opportunity to surf the internet and must demonstrate consciousness in the use of this instrument. Students are also provided with a personal email address they are responsible for
Learning Objective
