What? We are learning about powerpoint activities and presentations. We are learning how to create powerpoint activities and how to be able to teach that to our students so that they will know how to do that themselves.
So What?As a teacher I don't think that I will be spending all this time creating this activity because I want my students to learn to be active and learn sports by doing. As a student right now it is an assignment that is really overwhelming to me right now. I have a hard time with thinking how this can apply to me as a PE teacher. I'm not really sure why we are doing this, maybe so that we can broaden our knowledge about technology so that we can teach it to our students. This information may be a little hard to apply to me today as a student and as a future PE teacher. I think that it is useful to know just for kicks but I have a hard time thinking I will use this in my classroom. I think it is cool that there are all these types of resources and ways to create projects and ideas and putting them all together but I also think it takes a lot of my time which I don't have a whole lot of right now. To my colleagues it is a way to collaborate with each other.
Now What?
I don't 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 don't 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.
