FINAL REFLECTION

I know that I honestly did get a lot of things out of this class. Ill be honest i really didn't want to take this class because of the simple fact that I am not a fan of technology at all. I really didn't know what to expect but I was surprised by just how much i really learned and not only that but how many things I will really use in my future teaching career. I got how to create my own website and my own calendar which is probably by favorite thing by far that we did in this class. I am going to use technology such as i movie, PowerPoint. Word, Internet searching and web 2.0 as i teach my students how to stay active for a lifetime.

It might not be used as often as other classroom teachers but because i teach in a gym and my students are not going to be on actual computers a lot of the time but they will have take home assignments and we will make some trips to the computer lab for this purpose. This class taught me that using technology isn't all bad and that it can be fun after you learn how to really use the program. That's all it really is, is learning new programs and how they apply to what it is that you are teaching. I now know that it is going to be impossible to teach Physical Education without using some type of technology in my lesson plans. I have become more confident with technology in general and so for that I am thankful. Overall this class was an educational experience that I am glad that i had during the first semester of this Physical Education program instead of the last because now I can use what I learned as I continue to teach and critique my teaching videos etc..
