Knowledge Curation in APE: Creating Videos to Continue APE Service Delivery During COVID

 Welcome to the What's New in APE Podcast blog/podcast. In this episode, I had a discussion with two APE teachers in the state of Georgia that have created high quality videos that deliver programming specific to PE for students with disabilities, as well as Special Olympics Training and Games. More specifically, these APE teachers include Dave Martinez and Amy Aenchbacher. Both have over two decades of experience teaching APE and work within Cherokee County School District, as well as help run the Cherokee County Special Olympics. Within this discussion, we discuss teaching APE during the pandemic, how they started developing high quality videos, and where they see the use of these videos after the pandemic subsides. Check out their YouTube page here for dozens of videos that provide APE-related instruction, games, modifications, and a lot of fun! 



Here is an example of one of their most recent videos on underhand throwing and ramp rolling.
