Stretching
As of the present day there is no core curriculum for physical education in the state of Utah. Therefore we have a lot of freedom in what we get to teach. Which is great for us! The reason behind our choice of vidcast weighs greatly on the fact that most students and people in general lack the knowledge of proper stretching techniques. Our collaborating teacher is very open and gives us a lot of freedom to create what we want! This vidcast will benefit our students greatly because it is fun, exciting and engaging. It is also informational and will provide the students with lifelong knowledge to help them reach and maintain their healthy lifestyle. Our vidcast lives up to the NETS and INTASC standards by inspiring creativity both in watching our vidcast and by thinking of ways they could create something of their own. It also helps students stayed engaged and promotes student learning in a positive classroom environment. It also can help the teacher quickly assess the students by watching them attempt to follow along with video and see if they are understanding the concepts. The only potential drawbacks that I could see by using this vidcast in my future classroom might be if my students are not at a skill level appropriate to do the stretches or if I am in an environment where I won’t have access to video or internet. For example if we are outside. This is only the first episode in a large series of informational vidcasts to come! I want to create these for students in order to keep them engaged, encourage learning and creativity, and to help them reach their physical fitness and health related goals throughout their lifespan.
