After joining Twitter, I learned quickly that there is an amazing community of PE teachers and stakeholders that want to help each other create quality PE programs. The deeper I dove into the Twitter world, the more resources I discovered. Shoutout to all the awesome PE teachers!

What's the greatest advantage (resource, tool, idea, networking, etc.) you've gained as a result of using Twitter?? #PhysEd #pegeeks

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

The PEGEEK has an awesome tool called "Replay It" which provides video feedback to students instantly. This is a very valuable resource to help improve student competency and performance!

OPEN Phys Ed has some amazing resources for PE Teachers. Under the "Remote Teaching" tab, there are countless activities, curriculum maps, visuals, activity logs, etc. that can be used for virtual PE and at home outside of class.

The Physical Educator has some great distance learning visuals available that can be used by PE Teachers who are teaching virtually!

Love all these awesome visuals! This would have been a great resource to use when I was teaching virtually during the pandemic @helenabaert

What an awesome activity for elementary students to work on letter recognition and spelling. Could be used in person or virtually! @helenabaert

I found this on my phone storage from 2020 and I’m amazed I never used it in class. I remember being so excited to try this. That tells me either there was a lot going on, too many creative ideas, possibly burned out or all of the above. #PhysEd #pegeeks

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

What a great idea for a simple assessment during virtual PE! @helenabaert

[Phys.Ed.Review @physedreview]

Making more simple hand assessments for questions in #physed class. Students answer with the hand position that represents their answer. Thx to @Mr_C_PE for this idea during the height of the pandemic that I still use. #pegeeks

What has been your greatest resource as a PE Teacher? #PhysEd #pegeeks

@NFL @JoshAllenQB @NewEraCap Buffalo loves Josh Allen 🙌 An inspiration to us all! ❤️💙

@SandersCB3 @paeseagulls @pe4everykid @AlisonReddy1 @leidunn_vb What a great activity to focus on teamwork and cooperation! Love adding the blindfold for differentiation 🙌

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

Really trying to put an emphasis on a "teamwork" mentality in my classes. Any great activities or resources that you use with your elementary students?? #PhysEd

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

Created some personal exercise gifs for our warm-up routine that students can watch during the warm-ups. Hoping this helps students master their locomotor movements. Especially my K students! #PhysEd #pegeeks

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

Any favorite elementary (K-4) phys ed activities that focus on #teamwork??

[OPEN Phys Ed @OPENPhysEd]

Windows is a wonderful dribbling activity to help #physed students keep control of soccer balls! #teachershelpingteachers

[Matt Helm @MattHelm_PE]

@stuewe33 @eatplants2move @KAHPERD @OlatheElemPE Love the creativity for making the octopus hoops! Constant movement as well 👌
