lab C transcript


To
Class: Can I ask everyone to bring it in over here please?


To Class: Today were
going to be reviewing and learning new aspects about the game of
fistball, which you can see is from Germany.





To Class: To begin,
when I say go, I want everybody to grab a volleyball and were going
to start walking around and work on our underhand hits, remember the
most important part, if you read the cues, is that you’re going
to keep your fist closed, and hit it from underneath, your going to
scoop down and lift





To Class: So that’s
what I want everyone to do when I say go, but when you go, as you can
see there are nets set up around ok? There’s going to be other
people walking around so make sure you’re aware of you’re
surroundings don’t run into a net or run into someone else ok?
So Go.





To Class: Spread out
and use the floor





To Mark: Good Mark,
good job





To Jack: Good Jack, way
to control it.





To Class: Remember to
use a closed fist





To Class: You can use
your forearm, you don’t have to hit it right off your fist
either.





To Courtney: Good
Courtney, good control





To Class: Remember it
is important to control the ball and keep it in front of you.





To Class: You can catch
it, or keep it going to challenge yourself.





To Glenn: Good Job
Glenn, way to go, nice control





To Ciera: Good job
Ciera, way to hit it straight up





To Class: Alright, now
to challenge yourself, try to hit it up in the air and keep it up in
the air and don’t catch it, alright?





To Class: Don’t
catch the ball when you throw it in the air, just hit it straight up.
See how many in a row you can get without letting the ball hit the
ground.





To Mike: Good job, way
to control it Mike





To John: Good job John,
way to use you’re fist





To Jack: Good job Jack,
way to control it


To Ben: Good job Ben,
way to control, way to control





To Chad: Nice job Chad





To Class: Try using
your non-dominant hand too!





To Courtney: Good job
Courtney, very nice





To Matt: Nice job Matt





To Jeff: Nice job Jeff,
I see it





To John: Nice job John





To Class: Nice job,
good work





To Class: Ok, so can I
have everyone bring it in?





To Class: Alright, so
now that we reviewed a little bit, were going to learn our next new
progression which is the approach to the spike ok? So there’s
a few things you got to learn when approaching to a spike alright,
the first thing is that when the ball is hit, its going to be a high
set up shot that we worked on last class, so the ball is going to
come down, bounce, and go back up into the air, so your going to set
up for your spike ok?





To Class: So the first
thing that we have to do is make sure that when the ball hits the
ground is that were underneath the ball ok?





To Katie: Katie can you
hold onto the ball please, thanks.





To Class: Alright, so
when the ball hits the ground what I want you to do is, spread out
and just make sure that you’re underneath the ball ok?
Alright, underneath the ball.





To Class: I want you to
bounce it away from yourself, go and set yourself underneath the
ball, in good position to spike, alright so go try that.





To Class: Spread out,
use the floor, be aware of your surroundings





To Joe: Good Joe





To Mark: Good Mark,
that was good





To Courtney: Good
Courtney





To Ciera/Katie: Hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Were not going to be throwing the balls at
each other ok girls, just keep control, ok good.





To Ben: Good job Ben





To Jack: Nice job Jack





To Ciera: Good job
Ciera





To Class: Alright now
what I want you to do is when you throw the ball down underneath, I
want you to jump up and hit the ball at its highest point ok?
Because when you spike it you want to hit the ball at its highest
point on top of it so it goes down into the other teams area alright?





To Class: So now slam
the ball down, jump up, and touch it at its highest point. So
practice that, Go.





To John: Good job John





To Mike: Good job Mike,
way to get up there





To Jack: Good job Jack,
way to go





To Yessi: Come on
Yessi, bounce it down and go get it





To Rose: Good job Rose





To Mark: Good job Mark





To Jeff: Good job Jeff





To Joe: Good Joe, way
to go get it





To Matt: Good job Matt,
way to go get it





To Jeff: Nice job Jeff,
good Job





To Class: Come on, lets
keep going, keep going, keep going





To Class: Good, good,
good





To Mark: Good job Mark





To Class: Alright, hold
onto the balls for a second





To Class: I want
everyone to grab a partner, now the partner is just going to be used
to bounce the ball up in the air so you don’t have to do it
yourself ok? So get a partner and have them bounce it, but I want
you to separate a little bit from your partner so you have to run and
get into position ok? Alright Go


To Jeff: Jeff hold the
ball, thanks.





To ?: Alright that’s
fine





To Class: Bounce it so
your partner can get in position, come on lets go.





To Class: Good job





To Katie: Now jump up
and get it, come on Katie you can jump up and get that!

Katie, way to go, way to get over there





To Jack: Good job, good
job Jack, way to get up and get it





To Ben: Alright, Ben





To Class: Alright, can
I have everybody bring it back down over here please? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1





To Class: Ok very good,
so now can anybody tell me what the most important thing is when
getting into position to spike?





To Rose: Good Rose,
getting underneath the ball





To Class: Ok, so today
we went over the approach to the spike, next class were going to go
over the serve and were going to get into some game play alright? So

Explorer Scavenger Hunt

Ahoy Maties,
The explorer scavenger hunt was a great experience for me as a physical educator. It made me realize there are more aspects than just sports that can be tied into physical education, and was a great example of a creative thinking teaching assignment. The activity I liked the most was running from place to place while completing the scavenger hunt list. It was a good way to get a good cardio work out while having fun, and was incentive based because the harder each group worked, the faster they finished. I felt the activity was a great success, and it was obvious how much time and work our lab assistants put into completing the lesson. After going through this activity, I will take with me the concepts that went into completing such a complex lesson. For example, something as simple as having each "explorer" group create their own flag for their mission. This is a good way to get the students to interact, and put a little bit of their own spice into the activity. This is certainly a lab I would consider using in the future when I become a physical education teacher, mostly because it was such a fun activity, and got us out of the normal gymnasium. It really allowed the students to have freedom within the lesson, letting each group move at their own pace. I feel that letting the students learn at their own pace is beneficial to the student because it takes all the pressure off of them. For example, if in a basketball unit, if a student does not play basketball often it is almost impossible for them to succeed, and they may be embarrassed by their performance. If the student can learn at their own pace, they can go to their own basket and work by themselves, with no one watching. This lesson kept me very active because my group and I were running from place to place on the list. If you look at the graph of my heart rate, it begins low because I by-accidentally started the timer before I was supposed to. Once the lesson really began, my heart rate was mostly in the healthy zone, and I enjoyed this activity very much.

Big Gulps, Huh?

Ever get really nervous before speaking in front of a class? Well, I usually don't, but before I began to teach my activity for Lab C, I found myself a little nervous. I had to assess another student before my lesson, and while it was getting closer to my time to teach, I found myself telling me to breathe. I wanted to make sure that I did a good job while teaching, trying to cover as many key points as possible. I figured that I wanted to treat this lab very professionally, and try to do the best job that I could. I felt confident in my lesson, and although it was far from perfect, I was satisfied with the way I delivered it, until I went over the the clipboard. Apparently, it wasn't as good as I had originally had expected. The most important thing about my first Lab C "class," was that I learned a lot of things that will help me down the road in Lab D. I am thankful that I learned a few lessons about teaching and teaching style throughout my first Lab C, and am looking forward to being able to utilize the lessons I've learned in future teaching experiences.

SUNY Cortland PE Mini Conference

Walking into Park Center the morning of October 8, 2008, I had no idea what to expect. I had never been to the conference before, and was excited and curious to see what the day would bring. It began with a bang when our EDU 255 class, lead by Dr. Yang, kicked off the conference with a few activities to loosen up the audience. After our "We Will, We Will, Teach You," entrance we invited the conference attendees to join us in a game of "Mix, Mix, Mingle, Mingle," a game designed to break the ice. After the "kick off" activities were finished, we took a seat and were fortunate enough to hear a wonderful opening speech by Dr. John R. Passarini, a dedicated physical educator. This speech really hit home for me, because when I get older I want to inspire people to become better people and athletes, and it was amazing to see the lives that Dr. Passarini has touched. It made me realize that going to school to become a physical educator is one thing, but to become someone who influences the lives of other people on a daily basis is something completely different. Listening to Dr. Passarini, and seeing the various things he has done with his career really reinforced my decision to become a teacher.
Overall, I feel that the conference was a great success. It was great to walk around and see the positive attitude everyone had toward the conference, as well as see all the presentations that Professors and students put together. I had the opportunity to participate in a demonstration of Omnikin, and it was great to hear the perspective of current physical education teachers. the PE teachers visiting the conference were very interested in learning new activities to teach, as well as learning alternate ways to teach a certain activity. I am excited to return to the conference next year, and I hope to get the chance to teach an activity when it all happens again next year.

First Teaching Video

In my first teaching experience I saw many positives with the way I handled it. However, I also see there are many things I need to work on before I can be satisfied with the way I teach. I felt comfortable when I was teaching, and I felt that I explain my topic in a proficient manner as well. I feel that I did a good job facing the class, even while I was demonstrating. On the other hand, I need to speak much louder. I also need to work on little things, like not saying "ahh," and not dribbling the ball when I am trying to speak. Overall, I feel my first teaching experience was a positive one, although I know I have a long way to go.
