Technology

I have always been big on technology and everything it stands for.  I love everything from, computers to tvs to smart phones.  I thought i knew a lot about computers also until i took this Tech for Pete class.  This class has shown me how to use a lot of the programs that my computer has to offer.  I finally know how to use all of powerpoint.  I never knew how much these programs actually had to offer.  Im glad i had the chance to take a technology class to learn about stuff i never knew how to use.

Rules of PE

Should dodge ball really be banned from schools?  Childrens favorite game to play in Physical Education not able to be played.  I think that it should be allowed in schools with a few modifications.  I dont think dodge ball should be allowed in elementary schools but only high school.  You have guys and girls in high school 16 and 17 years old.  If it is a game that gets people as involved as this game, then why not have it in?  If you play with soft balls that will not do damage to the body, why not play it.  This is a game that most children love to play and we are told that we shouldnt play it because its bad.

Today's world

I think now in todays world, we are trying to get everyone to realise that we all need to start exercising.  You look around and you see all these new things like, kinect or wii and games that get you moving.  I think our siciety is trying to tell us something.  I think that exercising or working out is starting to catch on in todays society and i also think that people are starting to do it.  Now that doesnt mean that tomorrow the obesity rate will go down, but i think that we are starting somewhere and need to keep going.  Lets keep it up America!

Being Fit

Should you have to be athletic/fit to be a physical education major?  I think that being a physical education major mean, being fit or atleast able to adapt to different sports.  I dont think people who are not fit or athletic would be good physical education majors because you need to be able to do the stuff you teach.  When you teach students how to play a specific sport and you can not even do that sport, then how should you be aloud to teach it?  I also dont think you should try and get children physical active if you yourself is not physically active.  You need to practice what you preach.
