It’s hard to imagine a world without the internet. The wealth and abundance of information and resources that we can easily access at any time is incredible. It is an extremely valuable tool for education, especially if it is utilized correctly. It has positively impacted my learning and quest for knowledge on learning about best practices in Physical Education and coaching. As a result, the internet motivates me to learn and explore endless possibilities. I am able to access the most credible, relevant, and innovative information on a daily basis to share with my students and athletes. For example, I have created weight training and nutritional programs with the help of websites, journal articles, blogs, videos, and podcasts. I am also able to collaborate with other teachers and coaches on quality lesson or practice plans and professional development. Technology and social media fascinate our students and athletes, and the internet plays a vital role in maximizing their opportunities to learn.
When I want to learn something new I navigate through various sites to read and research as much as I can about the topic. I typically utilize Google to get me started on my journey to educate myself the best I can. I also often utilize YouTube to watch videos of professionals in a certain area. I constantly watch videos on baseball and basketball drills, techniques, game strategies, and strength and conditioning. I also enjoy visiting sites that focus on motivation and reflection of the game such as Ted.com and Hudl.com. I take pride in being as knowledgeable and prepared as possible for any situation that may arise in my profession. I have just recently started visiting PositiveCoachingUS, SHAPE America, and Sparkpe.org to stay up to date on happenings within the scope of Physical Education. From Twitter, to CNN.com, local news, my school’s website, weather.com, the possibilities are endless in regards to my personal learning and staying well informed.
