ConnectedPE's AI tools are designed to be simple, but a few strategies can help you get even better results. Here are our top tips for getting the most from every generation.
The more specific your input, the more tailored your output. Compare:
Vague: "Basketball"
Better: "Basketball dribbling for Year 5"
Best: "Introducing the crossover dribble in basketball for Year 5, Game Sense approach, indoor gym"
Different teaching approaches produce different lesson structures:
Direct Teaching — Teacher-led, skill-focused, clear demonstrations and practice.
Game Sense — Game-based learning with tactical questioning and modified games.
TGfU (Teaching Games for Understanding) — Game appreciation, tactical awareness, then skill refinement.
Sport Education — Season-based with roles (coach, referee, statistician) and culminating events.
Choose the approach that matches your teaching philosophy and the specific lesson goal.
If you list your available equipment, the AI will only suggest activities that use what you have. This saves time adapting plans and ensures everything is practical.
Need a full lesson? → Lesson Planner
Need a multi-week plan? → Unit Planner
Need to assess? → Rubric Maker
Need a quick game? → PE Games
Need to adapt for inclusion? → Adapted PE
Need a quick answer? → Ask ConnectedPE
The tools work best together. A typical workflow might look like:
Step 1: Generate a Unit Planner for your term's topic
Step 2: Create detailed Lesson Plans for each lesson in the unit
Step 3: Build a Rubric for the unit's summative assessment
Step 4: Add Differentiation for your mixed-ability classes
Step 5: Create Skill Cue Cards for students to reference during practice
Every generation can be saved to your My Work library. Build up a library of plans, rubrics, and games that you can revisit and reuse across terms and years.
