How will these skills help me collaborate with my colleagues, and why are these tools popular?
Audio in a digital story can help colleagues understand what I am trying to get across, helps them understand what the story is about.
In which ways might I employ these skills to achieve classroom objectives?
Help the students hear what the story is about and help them put facts together with pictures
What are the pros and cons of Digital Story/audio?
Sometimes Audio might take away from the emotion of the story, but it helps students learn facts and know that they need to understand.
Video
We have already watched this video but I liked it. This week was about the top ten thing we don't learn in here about teaching. It is so true there are so many things that we really should know but never learn about. I think this is what happens in a lot of professions, we go to school for years being tested on material and then we get out of school, get a job and face the social demands that no one told us about or situation that come up, everyday things that come out of know where, and our information that we studied for to pass our classes do not help us one bit.

Week 7
How will these skills help me collaborate with my colleagues?
A: You are able to combine every subject into a video and you can play this when classes are together or for assemblies.
Why are these tools so popular with my colleagues?
A: This tool is a very good way to get through to students, most students react and learn more through things that they see then what they hear.
In which ways might I employ these skills to achieve classroom objectives?
A: These can be shown to get a important point across about different things dealing with P.E, like obesity and what happens to your body when it is not being taken care of.
What are the pros and cons of Digital Story?
A: Digital stories can be very touching and have a huge impact on students, they will learn a lot more through a movie then a lecture, cons: It takes more time to put everything together and sometimes the movies could be to dramatic for students to watch.
Video
I thought the video this week was very interesting, I did not know that so much money is put back into the world for every thing NASA does. My brother designs rockets and then presents then to NASA so this video reminded me of what he does. Its sad that there were so many people lost when they were working on sending people to the moon. This video made me want to watch Apollo 13 :)

Article #1Pedometers can be an excellent tool for students to see how much they have moved during their physical education lesson. Pros. As with HR monitors, they can set personal targets for potential improvement in each lesson. They will be able to improve and set goals for themselves by using this tool. Cons. This tool can only see how much you have moved throughout the activity
I think that this will give the students a responsibility and make them feel that they cant set goals and achieve them.

Tech Article #2
Dart Fish is one Technology tool that I want to use in my classroom/gym. Pros,This program evaluates your skill but lays it out in frames so you can see where your error or where your needs improvement is. This program also lets you do side by side frames where you can compare and contrast the two frames. This program give such detailed information to you that you will be able to improve your skill faster and more accurately. Cons The free program only goes for one month on each computer, and it takes some time to understand the tool, may be confusing for some students.
This will each student excel in a skill that they were not very good at before.

A: I believe that Internet can be very useful to all classes, as long as we teach our students to use it wisely I see no problem with using the Internet in education

6. Does the site have correct spelling?
I would have blockers up to keep my students safe and make sure they follow the six questions they ask while surfing. Always ask permission to use and turn on computers.
Video:
To be honest I thought the video was random, it had a lot of Facts and important info but it was not interesting yo me, it was really fast so I did not get all the info.
Today in class I really liked how I could make a site and questions for my class, and things I can do to help my class be safe on the Internet. It was fun to play the games:)

UEN Reflection
UEN is a great source for students and teachers in education. I will have my students use UEN because it has correct inforamation about topics and they can also learn more about physical education while they are in UEN. I will have them do virtual tours and little quizzes, also have different topics on hea;th and fitness they can research about , like eating disorders.
Pioneer Library: Was fun to look go through and learn all the different things you can do while in there.
Interactives: I loved these. This gives students a chance to play some games while learning something important. Lets kids have fun while learning
Lesson Plans: This resource is sweet. I love that you just have to pick a topic and grade and it links you to lessons you can use. I love it.
Core Curriculum: I like how you can look up your core anytime to make lesson objectives and different activities to meet your core. So nice.
I also really loved the fact that you can go in and find a ton about different countries and what their culture is like.
