Beliefs
When talking of technology and the way I should use it as a teacher in my classrooms/gym, I will have to go against the way I was taught growing up in each of my P.E. classrooms. I remember going to class, having a coach bascially roll balls out in the gym and just let us do whatever we want. I have an idea of possibly teaching new skills to the students through videos from the best athletes in the world. I had mentioned in an earlier posting that I would show a LeBron James video of how to shoot a correct jumpshot. I think by showing something like that, the students will relate and listen to someone they consider a role model, and someone who has proven to know what he is doing.
Going back to when I was in high school, I remember our form of cardio exercise in high school was to run the 1 1/2 mile run. I remember bringing an MP3 player to class and having my teacher refuse to let me use it, because it wouldnt be fair to the other students and was against school policy. I don't know if it was against school policy, but I knew that when I ran with my MP3, it was a lot easier to do. It was the way I ran and helped me through every run I did on my own, and I think as a teacher I need to recognize the necessities of students today, and know that technology is the way of today and the future. I believe that the use to IPODS will help students push themselves in the physical activities in class.

Lessons Learned
Why Integrate Technology - After reading the article, I thought the last paragraph summed it up perfectly..."Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding through multiple means. It also enhances the relationship between teacher and student. When technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun."
21st Century Skills - When looking at everything in the 21st century skills, I really like that it puts everything in the perspective of now.
Teens - I find this article to be so true. I even revert back to myself. I learned so much about how to properly use email and a whole bunch of stuff. I also agree that students will want to learn more from their peers and adults in general.
The New WWW - The truth about the world is we can get whatever we want, whenever we want at the touch of a button on our computer. It keeps kids from getting out and doing the phyical activity they need. The great thing about school that keeps kids wanting to go there are things like sports and the social aspects.
Engaged Learning - Bring their world into ours! Wonderful video that makes a lot of sense. I really do think we need to get our students involved in a different way than we were. They react and act differently to things because of the way they have grown.

Strengths and Weaknesses
-I think that knowing about technology is very important to todays society, because that is part of who we are. I think I as a P.E. teacher will be good with Standards 1 & 4 which are "Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity" and "Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Resposibility". I feel my weaknesses would include Standard 2 "Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments" and I believe that is because I think it would be difficult finding ways to include technology into a phyical education class.
-As a P.E. teacher I want to be able to keep physical fitness and moving around, working on becoming physically fit. I think the use of an MP3/IPOD is great thing to have when running and lifting weights and other phyical activities. As a teacher I can show the correct way to shoot a basketball through a video on LaBron James. Like I had mentioned. It is important to use technology, because it is the way students do everything now-a-days.
-My goals for my classes would be to create activities that students can use their ipods and give forth a complete effort. Another goal I would have is to use the tehnology to show how to do something like shooting a basketball.
