My Students

Health, character traits and drug prevention now tie into physical education classes daily. As times change, PE teachers & coaches find that technology is now vital to ALL educators. In short, it's time for this teacher to step out of her box & broaden her educational journey to learn about iPads.

Our elementary school has 535 students who love physical education classes.

They are definitely energetic, fun loving and I absolutely love working with all of my Pre K through 5th grade students. I teach physical education classes and sports, as well as teaching character traits, health and drug prevention. As a new PE teacher in the school, I would love to offer my students lessons with technology eventually. To do that, I must first embark on learning more, myself. Once I have completed this personal learning journey, I can bring more to my students in terms of lessons using iPads.

My Project

As a PE teacher who brings not only physical education to the children, but the importance of character traits, health units & drug prevention lessons as well, I have an interest in learning about iPads to eventually help my students in my classes. My action plan in terms of Professional Development would include meeting 3 times (1 to 1) with my school's technology coach. We've set up a lesson plan to guide me with my personal journey. At home, I will read professional development articles to learn about effective uses of iPads. I was advised to use the school's PD reading list. Through the use of the requested iPad Air (& keyboard), my tech leader will guide me with my own personalized learning journey. The lesson plan created has me striving for 2 goals: Part 1 will include learning technical issues & physical aspects such as iTunes, downloading apps, etc. Part 2 is geared toward ways to implement iPad lessons for my own students.

With this particular plan of action, I know I can eventually bring effective heath, PE, & drug free iPad programs into my classroom.

For now though, my path lies with learning about iPads and its uses in the classroom. I plan to step out the box to learn about this tool & how to utilize them. Through the help of our school's technology leader, I know I can move forward with the knowledge gained in this professional development endeavor. Would you help me with my quest to learn more about iPads?
