My Project
I love their eagerness. The first question they ask as soon as they walk into the gym (even though I always let them know the lesson before what to expect for tomorrow) is "what are we doing today?"
They are competitive and vulnerable.
They come to win and work hard, even if their skill level isn't of the highest.
The students love and need physical education to get them up and moving, especially after sitting in class for the other 7 periods a day! I think having a smart board in the gymnasium will help motivate the students to work hard and to practice better habits.
For example: We were doing a pickleball unit last month and more than half of the class never heard of it before. If we had a smart board, I could have uploaded a video of a pickleball match and had the class watch it. Having access to photo and video will also help tremendously with practicing good habits and demonstrations when I am unable to help them individually. (class sizes range from 50-100 students)
