First Reflection

The first time I realized that I was interested in education was when I went to watch my Grandpa teach in his physics class as a young child. Growing up I got to hear all of his interesting stories from bringing home a dead whale for class to making a gun for class that he could show his class the properties of movement. The desire increased in the eight grade when I did a project on child hood obesity which showed me how big of a problem child hood obesity is in the United States. As a physical education teacher I hope to teach these kids how to avoid this problem and create healthy living habits. I'm hoping to teach elementary public physical education so I can install these desires early in students lives. I also want to become a teacher because I like to watch kids grow and expand their knowledge.
This semester I hope to learn how to use technology in the classroom and how I can use the new world of technology to improve my students learning. Specifically I want to be able to run a smartboard while being able to control a classroom. I also want to be able to learn how to use an effective blog because I know that all students learn differently and I want my students to be successful as they can be. The final thing I would like to learn in this class is about where education is going with technology and how much technology is going to grow in the classroom.
