TPACK-Design Project

The technologies in my TELE fit the content selected because the Wii has a specific game called Wii Sports.  Included in the Wii Sports are tennis, golf, bowling, boxing, and baseball.  There is potential to expand the lesson into the other sports and expose the students to other lifelong sports.  The technologies fit the instructional strategies for this lesson because the Wii is very user friendly.  As I mentioned before, I would assume most of the students have had experience with the Wii and are familiar with the controllers and how the system works.  If a student is not familiar with the Wii, it is very easy to learn and very easy to control.  Also, this technology is versatile and students with wide ranging physical abilities will be able to effectively use it.  The content, instructional strategies and technologies are come together in the lesson because without one the other could not exist.  Without the tennis game, the Wii and the controllers would just be a piece of unused technology.  If the technology is not working, the lesson can not be taught using the instructional strategies that I have designed.  Each element is dependent on the other and together they can create a fantastic learning experience.
