Summary
Dylan Blain writes about Research Informed Practice in PE. What I take from this article is that Dylan forst of all is a very good teacher. He takes the time to stay up to date with the latest ways to teach and instruct his students the correct way by using the latest research out there. He gives us some very good research sites to look at and learn from like "Physical Education Matters". Basically what I take from this is, there are always better ways to do things, we have so much technology at our finger tips these days that it would be a shame to think your way is the best way and not research better ways to teach. As teachers we can never stop learning, we owe that to our students.

My name is Logan Kirkland and I attend the University of South Alabama where I am studying to be a PE Teacher and baseball coach. This article has really made me think of ways that I can continue learning after I start working. We owe it to our students to offer them the most up to date and safe ways to exercise and learn. I congratulate you on going the extra mile for your students. logan Kirkland.
Summary
In this article Dylan writes about a trial that he is doing entitled "Sportplan". This really peeked my interest because I plan to coach baseball after graduating. Sportplan is a coaching platform that allows you to use your Ipad to create coaching and teaching sessions for your players or students. It allows you to layout a complete session with a great deal of detail and it looks very professional. I will definately use this or a form of this in my coaching career.

Brenda Jones writes about Looking Forward/Looking Back. She talks about "No Spoons", basically this was a project to help her students create and learn on their own, she did not want to spoon feed them information. She was looking for her students to think, source their own information and answer some of their own questions. She encountered some problems as the students did not think this was the conventional way to teach, they were use to being "Spoon Fed". Her conclusion was that she feels that she should have eased into the new method a little slower to ease the fears that the students felt. She plans to use this approach in the future, but plans to tweek it a little to let the students get use to it before diving in.

I find the traditional teaching much easier to learn and make a better grade in class. But, I tend to learn more and reatin more knowledge when I am tasked to learn on my own and figure things out for myself. I personally think the approach that you used "No Spoons" to be very valuable and I will plan to use a version of this when I start my teaching career. Thanks for the article, Logan Kirkland.
Summary #2
Brenda Jones writes about Road Safety and using technolgy to have her students define risks, after the define the risks they make a movie using Tropfest. When she explained this to her students she could see that they had some major concerns, this was something new. The students formed groups and started putting what they believed posed risk down on paper in the form of questions. Why do people speed? Why are young people in so many crashes? Etc. They discussed the questions and came up with a word to describe each question Cars, Sad, Risk, Shock, Stupid, Angry, Tired. The students were then tasked with making the movie based on the questions and words. The class totally bought into this concept and had fun with it.

This article was very interesting to me. It shows how you can use technology to get your students thinking and learning. They actually learned a lot more than just road safety, they also learned valuable lessons on how to use different technologies to get their work done. I wish I had learned this before moving on to college. Great article and very well thought out! Logan Kirkland.

Mrs. Hamada is talking about a new academic year at a new school, she is determined to not pass judgement on the school or the students until she has had time to understand each fully. She is planning to start small and learn the students names and their abilities first. She plans to be open minded and make no assumptions, she plans to stay positive for every lesson, she plans to use technology for learning and not just for fun. She plans to use Google, Coaches Eye/Analysis/Sharing/Dropbox. She also plans to pick the brain of other teachers and broaden her learning.

I am a student at the University of South Alabama in a course called EDM310. I am planning to be a teacher and baseball coach upon graduating. This story really inspires me to keep an open mind and not judge students, facilities or other teachers until I have had a chance to get to know them and the things that need to be able to learn. It also inspires me to use technology to spice up my class and the students imagination. I really believe that technology keeps the students interested and in learning mode. Thank you for this article, it was very interesting, Logan Kirkland.

The blogger talks about emails taking over all of your time. She mentions that she was spending a lot of time answering emails and going thru emails that did not really relate to her, but it took time to determine if she needed to answer or not. She actually gave a couple of email checklists that can be very helpful in determining if you should answer or send the email. She suggest that you print this out and hang it up at your desk. I can see that this would be very helpful in my future.

I found this blog to be helpful to me. I plan to print out the email checklist and put them in a place to be able to refer to when needed. My ultimate goal as a teacher and coach is to give my students as much of my time as possible. This will help me to do that. Thanks, Logan Kirkland.
