This course jumped out to a quick start to me. I remembered session 1 was a short introduction, and we went right into our video presentations. However, observing everyone's presentation and listening to feedback was very helpful in preparing for the capstone. I enjoyed the breakout sessions and the small groups, allowing everyone to share and express their knowledge. Some of the reading material was a little overwhelming. Although, I do appreciate the sense-making and bridging the gap from Dervin. I liked the example from Ruth on structured lesson design and the example of brushing teeth. My favorite reading was Baggio, and how she provide great examples (in my opinion) like using the font Sans so it makes it easier for the reader to see the screen. She also stated "Less is more. Keep it simple" "Chunking is a way to minimize cognitive load". I found her book was very delightful to read and it was easily to comprehend. I first heard about TPACK in the first semester but didn't fully understood it. This course helped me break it down and dissect it more. Using technology in physical education class was a challenged since the environment was not the same as the classroom. Being open-minded and trying to find ways to get students engaged and motivated to the content in P.E. by using music was a success. Sorry to keep showcasing my students' Crossfit PBL, but I was very impressed how they developed and presented their Crossfit WOD with the use of a technology tool.

Technology and physical education has also changed in a rapid rate compared to many years ago. The development of TPACK has been thoughtfully created because of the new ecology of social media, applications, and electronic devices. Students are engaged and attracted by video games, music and devices. How can I use Fortnite (the top computer game) as an example to get my students participating in the activity? What ways I can have music increase students' heart rates and energy expenditure in P.E.? How do I balance between active student learning to student learning using devices? These questions are random but after reading TPACK and watching the video of Punya Mishra helped me think deeper with my driving question. I was amused when he mentioned using a slate (chalk board) is technology. Breanna also told me using a pen is technology. Technology doesn't always has to be advance, as long teaching and learning happens.

2. FitRadio 3. Lose it! 4. Google Slide 5. Edutopia I got the opportunity to view Eddie Obeng, "Smart failure to a fast-changing world". It was a little difficult at first to follow Eddie's presentation since he was a fast speaker but he was very artful in his speech. He describe how the world is accelerating at a very fast pace. What happens today can be obsolete in two years. This had me thinking about the Common Core/State Standards in P.E. When I first started teaching, we went by the State Standards. I think it was back in 2010 when the state adopted Common Core. What will be next? My favorite part of the video was when Eddie said people around wants to see innovation, "they say take risks and be creative", however some may hear it as "do crazy things and then I'll fire you". I see and hear colleagues and administrators talking about being innovative in teaching. I try to do my part and take risk in P.E. Those risk have helped me build a bridge in the learning gap between my students and I.
