Revising my GAME plan
1b-engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
2. 2. 3a-demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.
These are the Goals that I established for my GAME plan at the beginning of the class.
What have you learned so far that you can apply in your instructional practice?
There are many things I have learned so far about using technology in physical education. I knew about some of these technologies that were being used. But integrating them in my classroom with proper instruction was a challenge for me. Vicki Davis discussed in this weeks lecture about Educational networking. She listed many benefits students got out of blogging and managing their own network education site.
What goals are you still working toward?
The goals I’m working towards are engaging students with real world problems and issues using digital tools. I am also demonstrating to students how to use a pedometer, hr monitor, GPS-geocache etc. My ability to learn material will allow my students to learn and be successful as well.
Based on the NETS-T, what new learning goals will you set for yourself?
Id like to learn more about how I can incorporate technology and projects where children can learn about health and nutrition outside of P.E class. I believe that P.E has two components the physical movement in class, and the knowledge of nutrition, health etc. I heard today from a student, why are we taking a quiz in gym class? Because to give you knowledge to retain for the future to benefit you.
What learning approaches will you try next time to improve your learning?
I think next time I would like to find more individual learning projects. I think that students can collaborate with each other to help, but for them to learn on their own. I think that having group projects limits the individual in each group to be successful.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteI am also still working on the goal of 1b -engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. I think by demonstrating to students the use of a pedometer as well as a heart monitor and GPS-geocache are great ways to incorporate technology and real-world issues into PE. These are tools that they will see for the rest of their lives, so what not make them aware.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteI too have had students question taking test in P.E. and being that this year was my first year at a new school following a teacher who had been there for 41 years, I received many doubts from students, parents, and even other teachers. As P.E. teachers of the 21st century we have the challenge of recreating the perception of what is done in Physical Education. Many teachers that I work with have no idea of what I even do in my class. I think many still look at P.E. as extra recess and unfortunately, I think this is a common misconception.
