My Beliefs

       After reading and watching these videos, I feel even more now, that technology can only benefit a student's learning.  I know that using all these different tools and research can only help us to progress in our life and help us build our knowledge of the past, future and present.
      However, as a PE teacher, I feel that helping my students to stay active and participate in physical activity daily is more important to me than teaching them how to use technology.  I dont think that I will be using a lot of technology based lessons in my class. I want to be able to teach my students how to live a healthy life by having them do things, demonstrate their learning by doing physical activity.  I know that there are many tools on the internet that can help my students learn about healthy lifestyles like the Food Pyramid and other resources and I plan on using that type of technology in my classroom.  But as far as everyday use of technology in my class I dont see that as beneficial when I am wanting them to realize the importance of having physical activity be a part of their everyday life. 
        I think that having an opportunity to use technology in a PE classroom can benefit my students.  There are many uses of technology in sports and just an overall healthy lifestyle and I hope that as their future teacher I will be able to learn more about how to incorporate these technologies into my classroom so that I can effectively teach and engage all of my students.  I know that technology is what the students know and enjoy using and if I can teach using technology while having them be physically active, I feel like I will be able to teach to all of my students effectively and they will enjoy exercising.  That is my goal as a PE teacher, to have my students enjoy exercising and see the benefits of it.
