C4T#4

This week in EDM 310, I had the opportunity to view and comment on a teacher's blog. Mr. Brendan Jones is a PDHPE( Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) in New South Wales, Australia.

Post#1:Go Pro in PE Mr Jones has used many technology programs within his PE classes. For instance, Go Pro is a device that can be used to help " analyze a player's movement". He states that he mainly uses the devices when cycling, but he uses it in his classes in order to help students to analyze themselves from their point of view. Personally, I never knew the device had a name. I just thought it was camera attached to someone's helmet. However, I think the Go Pro is a great device because he provides people, especially athletes, with immediate feedback.

Post#2: Emulator? Or Assimilator? Mr. Jones asked the question is it best for teachers to be an emulator(to be like someone else) or to be an assimilator(to incorporate as one's own)? Well he states that it is easier to be emulator because teachers can get good teaching ideas from great teachers. However, its best to be an assimilator because only you, as a teacher, knows what is best for your students. I totally agree with him because it is ok to take other teachers' advices into consideration, but it does not possible mean that those advices will work for my particular class. Brendon Jones
