Vidcast Blog

What? We are learning about Vidcasts right now and we are learning how to create them using different tools and resources.  We have learned different options to what we can use vidcasts for.

So What?I dont really think this means much to me right now.  I am having a hard time with this class in trying to figure out ways to incorporate this into a physical education class.  Videos and visual aids can be helpful to some students but I think real learning can take place when they actually participate and demonstrate the actions themselves. We are doing this so we can learn how to bring technology into the classroom and broaden our resources. I think this can only help me by trying to figure out ways to teach differently and mix things up in my lesson plans but I dont think sitting at a computer is beneficial in teaching physical education. Technology is important and ever growing and it is important as teachers to be involved and to expand their ideas and a good way to do that is through technology and through other colleagues.


Now What? For my future students is may be beneficial in the real world when trying to find resources for homework or  just finding information for themselves. This new information definitely builds my knowledge of research and using resources like the internet to help me become a better teacher.I dont know if this will change the type of teacher I will be. I think that it will help me stay organized which can benefit my students. I could give my students a research project on physical activity and they can collaborate using google, so they can accomplish this assignment as a group.  This may benefit me and help me become a future teacher by widening the views of my students with the use of technology.  Technology is growing and will only do so more as time goes on.  Being able to collaborate with my fellow coworkers will definitely help reach and teach better lessons to my students.
