AI in the PE classroom — what's worth using, what isn't
The honest tour. Lesson planning, game generation, video feedback, on-device tools. Where AI saves you time vs. where it just adds a step.
For more than a decade I ran in-person workshops in 40+ countries — and online cohorts whenever I couldn't fly. After a few years off, the workshop is coming back as something different: 4 weeks, async, small cohort, all the practical stuff that actually changes how you teach.
The PE Geek workshop has run on three continents, in school halls and gyms, in hotel ballrooms and convention centres, on Zoom calls before Zoom was famous. It's never been a slide-deck performance — it's hands-on, you-leave-with-something-you-can-use-Monday. The new format keeps that DNA, just delivered async so it fits your week instead of your week fitting it.
One module each week, dropped on Wednesdays. Watch when it suits — at 6am with a coffee or at 9pm after pack-up. Optional assignments you can share with the cohort and get feedback on, from me directly. Small group. Lifetime access. About 8–12 hours total over the four weeks.
One video module per week, plus practical exercises. You set the pace. I'm in the cohort space every day responding to what people share.
Share your assignments and you'll get a personal response from me — not a checklist, not a generated comment. The same feedback I gave 1:1 in face-to-face workshops.
Capped intake so you actually know who else is in the room. Comments, questions, and shared experiments are encouraged — not a content-dump course.
Modules, recordings, templates, and the cohort discussion stay yours forever. Come back next year and rewatch any module in 5 minutes.
Topics for the first cohort. Final syllabus will be locked once the launch date is set.
The honest tour. Lesson planning, game generation, video feedback, on-device tools. Where AI saves you time vs. where it just adds a step.
Capture, annotate, return. The exact workflows I use to give individual student feedback on movement skills in under 90 seconds per clip.
Custom rubrics, classroom timers, score tools, parent updates. What modern AI builders make possible for non-coders, with PE-specific examples.
Bring it together. We'll build your personal stack — the 5–10 tools you'll actually use this year — and the simple workflows that keep them in rotation.

Drop your email and you'll be the first to hear when the date and final syllabus are locked. First 50 on the list get founding-cohort pricing — meaningfully below whatever the public price ends up at.
No spam. One announcement when the launch date drops, then the quarterly PE Geek newsletter if you'd like it.
The launch date will be set once the waitlist hits a critical mass. Realistically, first half of 2026. People on the waitlist hear first.
Public pricing is being finalised. Founding-cohort pricing for the first 50 people on the waitlist will be meaningfully lower than whatever the public price ends up at.
Yes — bulk enrolments for school PD budgets and PO-based payments are available. Note that on the waitlist signup or email [email protected].
You won't fall behind — modules stay open and you have lifetime access. The cohort discussion is most active when modules drop, but the materials don't expire.
A laptop or iPad, a recent web browser, and access to a class (or a hypothetical class to run experiments against). Specific tools used in each week will be listed in the final syllabus — most are free or have free tiers.
Yes. Same DNA — practical, opinionated, hands-on — but fully redesigned around how teachers actually consume PD now. Async, smaller cohort, AI-aware, with lifetime access instead of "you had to be in the room."
The workshop is run by Jarrod under The PE Geek brand. Members of ConnectedPE will get cohort priority and a discount when it goes live — details in the launch email.
