GAME Plan Week 6:
I have learned many new and interesting ideas of how to apply technological tools and ideas into my teaching. I am going to start using some online collaboration in my classes. I think these are a wonderful idea and a great way to students to see what goes on outside of Macon, Ga or in Weaver Middle School. I think it would be interesting for them to see or speak with other students from other physical education classes to see what kind of activities they do. I am still working on my goal of meeting all my students’ needs. I am still finding myself praise and lean more towards the more skilled or athletic. I have given my students a survey to see what they would think of going to the computer lab sometimes and mentioned some of the possible activities that I have learned from this class to see how they would respond. I was not surprised when I saw the athletes against it, but my non-athletes very much for it. So I feel that may be a way to reach all my students which is one of my goals.
I do not feel that I have reached my past goals to my fullest, so I do not think I am ready to set goals. I feel as if there is plenty more I can do and try to reach my other goals. It is very hard to incorporate some of the activities but I am still going to try and step out of my comfort zone, which is something I struggle with daily. I still believe that if I could find and find time to attend workshops and participate in some online collaboration tools that I will improve in my teaching and my creativity. I really am going to try harder to attend and find some workshops to help increase my knowledge with other physical educators.

Coach,
ReplyDeleteAre you strictly P.E. or do you also teach health? If you teach health, maybe that would be a way you could incorporate some technology. I can understand why the athletes would not want to go into the lab and have their active time taken away. Our kids are already so inactive.
You definitely have some challenges that some of us don't face in the technology realm. Hang in there and keep up the good work!

Coach,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a great idea to show your students what goes on outside of their school. I know I try to do that for my students too. At times we as teachers really don't know how our students live outside of the classroom walls. Many are deprived of so much and will greatly appreciate the collaboration.

Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about how to get "the athlete" interested in using technology in PE. I think we could investigate how some of the professional athletes use technology in their training. That might open their minds to utilizing technology in our classes. What do you think?

Coach,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on creating an environment to talk to other physical education classrooms. If you actually get to do that let me know how that will go. I do not even think that my school has the technology to pull something like that off. Good luck and attend those workshops!! It will pay off in the end.
