Final Reflection

I had a love/hate relationship with this class. At times I would get really frustrated because I had no idea what the heck I was doing, but once I finally figured it out I enjoyed the class. There were two things that I think I will use the most after this class. The first is Studiocode. That was very beneficial for us to learn because we will have to use it for the rest of our time here at BYU. In our teaching classes we will have to evaluate our teaching using this program. I know how to use it now, and if I forget what to do, I have a very helpful packet that will tell me what to do next! The second thing that I think was most useful was creating the class website. That is something I will for sure use in the future, and I know some people are already using it for their classes right now. Using technology in P.E. is a little more difficult than using it in the classroom, but it still can be beneficial. Someways that it is beneficial for teaching are, conveying a concept, having websites for students to see what is on the schedule for the next day, and having presentations for students to see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

This class has definitely changed how I think about teaching and also about technology. I did not understand before this class just how intertwined these two subjects are, but now I can see the benefits of technology in teaching. I also have seen that technology is a good thing, and if I don't know how to do something on the computer I can figure it out and eventually be able to use it. I would not say that I now love technology, but it is no longer a love/hate relationship. I would now call it a "like" relationship!

Thank you Dan for always helping me with my technology problems! You were a great teacher!
