Next Semester

Next semester I'm going to be taking some serious classes.  I got 352, Motor D, and I got no idea what you do in those classes.  I still haven't bought one of those P.E. uniforms yet.  I got Intro to Dance too and I'm not to happy about that.  I really don't want to be dancing in front of my class.  We had to create a dance routine for my Movement Ed class and that was the worst experience of my life.

Using Technology In a Phys Ed Classroom

I don't understand that we have to take a course on how to implement technology into our classrooms when we need the kids to be as active for as long as possible.  I understand if the technology is treadmills or heart rate monitors, but I don't see why we need to learn all this.  I guess its good to know how to use Excel for grade sheets and stuff, but when will I make an interactive PowerPoint for my kids?  Am I really going to pull my kids out of the gymnasium and shove them into a computer lab so I seem like a diverse teacher?  Kids need to be moving for as long as possible because technology is part of the reason so many kids are obese.

Slippery Rock Weather

How come every time it gets above 70 degrees in Slippery Rock, by some unknown power, it drops right back down in a few days.  One day you can where shorts to class and the next you have to bust out some sweatpants and a hoodie.  I think it needs to decide whether its winter or summer and cut out all of these April shower crap.  I would like it to either be very cold untill summer, or decide it is summer and let the sun come out.  Either way, Slippery Rock has to the weirdest weather conditions in the world.

Ipads

The first time I got able to test out an Ipad was in Tech PETE.  Ever since then, I have seen tons of people with them and I wonder what other stuff is on there.  We only had one day in class to try them out and we had to find out stuff about them and how to use them.  I wish we could have some more time to find out the student uses of the Ipad.  It looks like they could be useful as note taking tools but I'm still skeptical that they are just really big Ipods.
