In Dylan Blain's post, he explains the importance of keeping up to date on current research in physical education. He makes the argument that reading up on research will help you the way you teach in the classroom. However, there is very little info in his field and relies on blogs.
My Comment
I believe it to be very important and beneficial for teachers of all kinds to keep up with research in their field. It would help teachers to come up with more relevant material for our students. Blogs are an excellent way to keep up on the current teaching techniques.
iPads/iPods in PE- Practical Workflow with Edmodo
Dylan Blain, in this blog post, explains the usefulness of iPads and iPod with Edmodo. Edmodo is a social network specifically for education. Teachers can create groups for classes,set assignments, upload quizzes, and access of files for students. He plans on using this network for his PE class. It will allow his students to upload their video content from their Ipods and Ipads to Edmodo. This allows the students to have portfolio evidence of their work. This also allows students to see if they are doing assignments right and infuses the importance of teamwork.
My Comment
I believe that this idea of incorporating technological tools such as the iPad with an education social network is such as Edmodo is an excellent idea. First it offers students to better their technological skills. It is so important for students to be able to have these because we live in a technological advancing world. I plan on trying to use this idea in my future classroom.
