Final Reflection

I really enjoyed this class!  I felt like I learned a lot about all that is out there in technology and how easy it is to use it. I thought it was useful to learn how to make a website. I really want to make one for my class when I am a teacher. I feel like it would be very useful and an easy way to get the parents involved in the class. I also loved that blogging was a way for us to do our assignments and I think I would do the same for my students because it is convenient for them and for me and saves trees. I do think i will also make mini videos for my classes or just for fun because it was so simple and would be more enjoyable for my students. I really want to use more technology in my class because i think it is a good way to keep students interested as well. This class changed the way I viewed technology and physical education. I used to think that  they were not connected and that this class wouldn't apply to my major but I was wrong. I know that technology needs to be used and will be for my advantage. I will continue to look for programs to help me teach physical education.

mobile apps

I love mobile apps, they are very fun and convient. You  can do so many great things with them because of the variety and the convienence. I really dont think that I would use mobile apps in class. Apps are very individual and they are hand held so it would be impossible to keep the students on task. I think they are great to use as home work or as a tool to study.

Studio code and video analysis

Watching my video over and over has helped me see a few things that I need to work on. The biggest thing I noticed is that I am terrible at giving feedback. I kept looking for feedback in my video so i could click the button but could not find enough. Even if I did find feedback is was like one word and directed at the whole class instead of an individual.
I also noticed that I need to work on my cues. I did parachute so it was a little harder for me to give cues but I could have shown them how to move the parachute in a few words and then had them do it. I am sure if I would have done that things would have gone a lot smoother. I also was not very good at repeating the cues later for the students. I noticed more than anything how annoying my voice can be sometimes. I really needed to be more excited and stop saying "okay" over and over again!
For when I next teach I will be better at giving cues even if it is a hard lesson to give cues on. I improved in this area after this lesson and things went much smoother but I still need to work on repeating the cues. I also just need to focus on the class more and have fun with them. If I do that I  will be more enthusiastic and be better at giving individual feed back.

studio code....yay

I did studio code..yay. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. I think I everything right,  I am really not sure. My video that I uploaded was really not the best and I didn't realize it until afterwards. My microphone didn't work very well the whole time so I was not able to find things as easily to code.  I also picked the parachute lesson which doesn't have many cues or organization. I still was able to code, just small spurts!
I could use this in my own class because it really lets me see what I am doing and am not doing. I am not quite sure how I can apply to my students but it will help me grow as a teacher.
