Tech Task #9

 Using info graphics can be extremely useful in the classroom. Many students are visual learners and can benefit greatly from seeing rather then listening to instructions. As a physical educator I have seen my CT's and personally used info graphics many times, they have been useful in many situations such as learning a new skill for early years  or working out in the weight room for the senior years. 

An example which I will post below is an info graphic I made in anticipation for teaching overhand throwing in my upcoming placement. I will post this on the wall so students can understand the steps when learning this new skill and can refer back to the poster when they have questions or need a refresher on how to perform the skill.

 Hello again readers & welcome back!  On Monday we had a great experience that allowed us to pick the brain of a principal here in Manitoba. However, it wasn't just any principal... it was the principal of the BRAND NEW Manitoba Remote Learning Support Centre, Andy Mead!

I thought I would take a creative spin at this weeks blog and interview a fellow education student on his thoughts on this new school.  I interviewed Joshua Ferguson to get his thoughts on Manitoba's new educational endeavour.  A = Mr. Asham...

Tech Task #4 - Internet Resources

 As a physical educator, I LOVE this resource. Joey Feith has consistent uploads, themed uploads, and grade appropriate uploads.  The resource is the YouTube channel Joey Feith - The Physical Educator.  This resource is a great place to watch detailed Low Organised Games with visuals that describe the game perfectly. You can use this individually or you can show your class the video explaining the game to save confusion.  Check it out fellow Physical Educators!  ----------------->    The Physical Educator

 On Monday our class had the privilege of hosting Kirsten Thompson the ICT Coordinator at Mountain View School Division.  I really enjoyed being able to have her virtually speak to us about her experiences using technology and social media within her past classrooms and now as her job as ICT Coordinator and how she implements it within the entire school division.  After Kirsten Thompson shared her wealth of knowledge on implementing her techniques we shifted our focus of topic onto how we as teachers were going to implement technology into our future classrooms. She had us ask ourselves, what is our "niche"?. What can I as a teacher bring to the table that nobody else can? Or that limited others can? Or that can't be replaced by technology?  What is my "Niche"? I believe I have a number of things that I can bring to a classroom that can't be replaced. I have experience playing professional sports which not many people can say that they have done. As a physic...
