Studio Code Project!

After participating in Studio Code the past couple of weeks, i have learned a little bit about the program. I have learned that it is not a very quick process when you are trying to code and edit your teaching video. I am sure that there is a ton of value in Studio code once you know how to run and operate all of the buttons and such; but as for right now I am having a hard time finding it very useful. However after analyzing my teaching i learned a bit about my instruction as well as my management. I learned that cues are very important to a Physical Education lesson.

They help keep the students on task and allow them to have rules to follow. I realized that a lot of my teaching time was spent on disciplinary actions and that took away from valuable teaching time. I also realized that using a student as a demo can be very effective and helpful to the flow of my lessons.

It definitely made a difference when i would follow through with my rules, signals and instructions and when I wouldn't. This "coding" with Studio Code taught me that.I plan on making a separate spot ( like a hula hoop) to send my students who are off task and the ones that are uncontrollable. I think that seeing how much time I was spending on disciplinary problems makes me want to have a stern look for the kids to know that I am serious as well as a time out place.

I know that I need to be better at telling them what cues are for what part of the dance. I will try to teach the kids with more simple cues according to their needs in their particular grades. Also I will try to say "What before When" in a few different ways so that I don't feel like I am being very repetitive with my words. I think that it was beneficial to see the video of me broken down into smaller and smaller segments. I am going to try to be aware of each thing that i am saying to each student next semester as well.
