Implementing Technology into the P.E. classroom (Gym)
It would be easy for me to make an instructional video on any activity or sport for the students to see. But where I ran into a problem was having the students use technology in the gym. It is extremely difficult to do this for a few reasons. Not many teachers have done this before so it is tough to find out what would work in this situation. Also many of the students still love P.E. the way it is ... in this case we get back to the age old statement "why fix it if it ain't broke?" However I do have few ideas that might work or atleast be considered by some teachers.
1. Video Project
Students must create a video showing the proper techniques and execution of any skill that from any unit we covered during the year in Physical Education. This project can be used as a final project for high school students grades 9-12 or just a final culminating project for seniors. The video must be throrough, edited, and polished. It also must be at least 3 minutes and no longer than 10 minutes. I think this will be a good way to assess the students on a physical activity that the pick, in an area that they believe they are talented in. We will count the video project as 25% of their final P.E. grade. It also can allow the teachers to keep the videos and show future classes videos of former students that the current students knew or have heard of. Finally it allows the students to express their abilities on the playing surfaces in a new and very creative way!
With ideas like this I have feeling that many other things may be changing in my P.E. Classes!

Two More Videos on Next Vista
http://www.nextvista.org/gourmet-butcher/
This is the first video I watched on Next Vista. This Gourmet Butcher had a very nice presentation. He covered all areas that he needed and gave a really solid briefing on what it is like to be a butcher. I liked how he presented all areas of his shop and had very smooth transitions from area to area. He was also very organized. I think to make the video a little better he could try to eliminate the "a's "and the "gotta's" from his presentation. A minor detail but still was a great presentation video.

The second video I watched on Next Vista was things to do to stay safer online. A good idea to give knowledge to the public on an increasing problem. I really liked the idea of numerous people presenting on the topic, it adds a nice touch comming from different perspectives. I thought that the presentation of the material was low and voices should have been raised to deliver a better and louder speaking level.

Second Video Outline
My Second video is something that I believe will be a help to Physical Education teachers both young and old. I also think that it will be helpful to their students to express to them what we as teachers are trying to teach about.
I want to create a song/tune/jungle/rap that will make it easier for Physical Education teachers to remember the New York State Physical Education Standards. There are 3 that I will be forming this song around. I think that this song ultimately will help students and teachers remember the three standards in an easier way.

- Open with an introduction
- Then a video of me reciting the three standards to a camera
- Cut it and bring in a beat
- Me "singing" to the beat the three standards
- Closing/shout-outs
