Week 7

Well we didn't have any classes this week, but it was a good chance to complete all my tech tasks. I got a chance to visit my cooperating teacher this week and figure out some of the units I will be teaching. One of the units will be weight training and a cardio unit. So I was thinking what I could do for this, and I started thinking how can I use technology. One thing I have talked about wanting to try is having my students make a YouTube video showing how to perform a skill or workout routine. So now I have the chance to try it. I still haven't decided exactly how I am going to do it, I still have time to plan that, but I am determined to try it. I think it would be a fun assignment and it would be a great way for me to see what my students learned. Will see how it goes, maybe it will completely bomb or maybe it will go amazing, only one way to find out!

  1. Sounds like your placement will be great! Having students create a routine and share it on YouTube sounds like a great idea. Hopefully your CT and administration will be up for it - I think the students would love it for sure!

  2. Great idea Tim, I think they would love it! I like how it would be enjoyable to both the "jocks" and the students who don't usually enjoy gym. I'd say make it as open ended as possible so they can all get creative and show you what they've learned. I don't remember ever getting to use technology in phys ed, and something like this would have been a great change up from the usual.
