I feel that I was so lucky to be put in the group that I was in this class. Team Cougar was comprised of PE majors and myself as a Health Education major. The whole semester we had problems with trying to determine how some of these projects would ever relate to us or how we could have a chance to use technology in the gym or playing field. So, I think that it would have been nice to substitute a more classroom based assignment with one that we could have better benefitted from. I know the parameters for this are a tad difficult to distinguish but if we are having to learn and demonstrate how to use the technology then it would be nice to have a project more geared towards us. For example, in one of the videos that we made, instead of using a Smart Board to teach a lesson we could have filmed ourselves using the Wii to direct a PE class in that days lesson. The Wii has a program, Wii fit, that can measure a students weight, height, balance levels, and daily activity progress to keep them up to date with how they are progressing in their personal fitness levels. The program has a balance lesson, cardio activities, stretching, and games that incorporate these things to make it more fun for the students. Having this option present for other students in PE majors would be a lot more beneficial in the long run.
