As a teacher of Physical education I am finding out that despite the fact that during the process of teaching and evaluating knowledge, I also consider the prior knowledge of students, their final knowledge is many times different from intended goals. Awareness, that within the development and evaluating knowledge, teacher’s conducts also have an important role, has inspired me to the idea to offer my students a completely different approach.

There are more and more children, who are, despite their effort, from various reasons not very successful or convincing in their motor skills area, but they have different knowledge, competence and skills, which can all aid in the understanding and quality of knowledge about the meaning of sport in one’s life.

With this film, made by one of my students as a potential display of knowledge, we want to show how it is possible to awake student’s desire to discover, research and create as well as how to encourage and motivate within a lesson in order to achieve a worked-out goal easier.

Film entitled “When dreams become a reality” was created with the Pinacle Studio programming equipment. This film will take us through the most typical periods of the history of sport, through the viewpoint of an adolescent who accepts the world differently as our generations did.

The technology used in the process is, with the words of Aristotel (2010), of only a secondary importance: “In order to name something knowledge, it needs to establish new worlds, new horizons, it needs to contribute to a higher ethics as well as intellectual excellence.“

With this film we have opened up new worlds of cross-curricular integration.
