Webinar

"The Sports CONNECT Webinar series is all about helping you provide more opportunities for people with disability to participate in sport and active recreation. It is a part of the Australian Sports Commission’s national Sports CONNECT initiative ([]) ".

A Webinar is an online presentation that is free and easy to use. The presentation is on the the internet and can involve presenters from anywhere in the world. Once you register to Webiner you can participate in the presentation, ask questions and take part in polls. If you happen to miss a presentation you can listen to these over a later date which is what I have done. There are currently 7 Webinars available for viewing which all explore disabilities in sport via the following link []

I strongly believe Webinar is a fantastic resource available to anyone that has access to the internet especially for PDHPE teachers. Webinar provides a way of learning about how people with a disability and there intraction with sport. As a future teacher I would use this resource in my class to teach children with special needs. Physical activity plays a vital role in everyones life and for people with a disability as it increases confidence and self esteem and also provides the feeling of being connected to the community therefore I believe it is important for physical educations to promote a positive experience with physical activity. I would use these Webinars in teaching children with special needs as it an excellent tool which provides information/strategies and ideas about how to teach students that have a disability to play and participate in sport.
