Last Blog

This is the last blog for the assignment in my class and I think I am more open to blogging then I was at the beginning of the assignment. Now I feel that blogging is a good way for people to share their ideas and to get input from other people on various topics. I think that it would be a good way for people to put out new ideas and see if other people think it would work or not. I also think for educators it would be a good way to problem solve, if its about a troubling student or a problem in a lesson plan that needs to be solved. I think too that blogging would be good for students especially if they go on school trips or throughout a sports season .

Other Sports

Sports In P.E

I believe that more sports from different countries should be incorporated in the American physical education curriculum. This should occur because that way when sports are played in class there is a more level playing field amongst the students. The sports can also widen the students knowledge of other countries and cultures around the world. Games like cricket, hurling, Gaelic football and many more also meet a lot of the standards that are required by state and national standards. New sports can also be new opportunities for children who may not be good at "American sports".

Technology

Technology is becoming more and more prevalent in today's world and people are becoming more and more adapted to using technology and more dependent on technology. Most people think that technology doesn't have a place in physical education but it actually does. In recent years schools have started using fitness labs in physical education classes and I-pads have been incorporated too. Fitness labs are a great way for students to be active without really realizing it. Some equipment in fitness labs are video games that are hooked up to equipment such as bikes so that students have to pedal to continue to play the game. I-pads can be used for students to do QR code scavenger hunts or to develop fitness plans for students. There are apps that can be downloaded to the I-pads which can give the students different exercises to do such as ab work outs leg work outs and much more. I believe that with technology physical education class it will only enhance programs across the country
