Physical Education Resources

I have been doing alot of research lately for not only this PE tech class but for my other PE classes as well. The amount of information I have been finding in the library, in books from other past classes, and the internet amazes me sometimes. There is so much information out there for future and current teachers to use to make amazing lesson plans that will help their students grow in physical activity knowledge and health that it is a shame not everyone takes advantage of it. There are so many teachers out there that are trying to give PE a good name again and then there are teachers out there that just do the bare minimum. It is a sad thing to see. I was one of the students in a school that had a gym teacher who was content in just passing us a basketball and telling us to play for half an hour. That is one of the reasons I wanted to get into the teaching field, to be able to change the way students see PE. I want to reach the non athletes and athletes alike to get them interested and excited about lifelong physical activity. So please use the abundant amount of resources we have this day and age to your advantage to help yourself and your students when you become a teacher.

  1. There truly is so much information out there for us as educators to use, but sometimes I feel as if books or journals could be biased or feel that they are not accurate of a source anymore. Mainly because physical education really has made a huge jump to change in the past couple years. The aspect of Physical Educatio needs to change in the children's eyes as well. Literature is alwaysa good choice, but visually students truly learn.

  2. I agree that there is a ton of information on Health and PE. I am also finding new information on how to become a better teacher. There is such a different I feel from how today's PE programs are run compared to many year's ago so you still have to be careful of what type of information you find. Overall, PE is a great major to be in this time and age because it is truly growing and expanding, which is evitable from the amount of information you can find.
