Reflection #4

Earlier in the year I asked the question will physical education turn into x-box connect of wii? This last week I got my answer, even though neither one has be out for a long time they are already starting to make their ways into physical education classes. This last weekend my aunt who is a physical education teacher was telling me how her students had a free day and she brought in their wii so the kids could play games on it. She said it was by far the favorite station that she had set up and that it worked well with classroom management. Another thing she told me was that the kids all new exactly what to do so their was little instruction needed. I'm not sold on the idea I do believe that these gaming systems can get more kids interested in physical education but I also believe that playing hands on physical games is key to improvement in aspects of life that are a necessity.
