Many would think that you do not need technology in the gym, but I am here to say you definitely do. When I am teaching skill development and rules, I have to bring out a large poster board to draw on. It's horrible. I feel like the students do not fully understand the concepts I am trying to teach them.
I would love to have a smart board in my gym. I know that sounds crazy, but it would be so effective with the students. Student's today are already technology driven so why not bring it into the gym? The smart board you could use to show video demonstrations, strategies, also write unit rules and objectives. There are so many things that you can use it for and it would make the PE environment totally different. Oh, I also forgot to list, you could use it for incorporating literacy in the physical education setting as well. What a great idea!
I think I might say something to my principal since every classroom in our school is getting. Why not buy one more? Wait, all the budgets are frozen! Guess I'll have to stick to my poster body lessons. Got to love it!
Jami Huntsman a forward thinker and a future teacher. I think you're on to something with this smart board thing. Hey maybe you can bring in Xboxes and they can just play football on nintendo too. haha jk. It sounds like you could really put use to something like that in your room. never hurts to ask, right?
