Performance Objectives

Performance Objectives
I think writing performance objectives may help teachers clearly communicate their expectations to their students. It may also help students understand what their teachers are asking of them and focus on their goals.
Cognitive Domain
Using just a photograph of the body, the KLS student will correctly identify and label at least three muscles that make up the forearm.

Topic & Standards: Promoting an active lifestyle

The topic of my lesson plan will be promoting an active and healthy lifestyle for sixth graders. The lesson will include having students identify and participate in activities that could contribute to a healthy lifestyle outside of the classroom. For example, swimming, running, basketball, etc. Students will participate in an activity of their choice, set personal goals, and keep track of their progress over the course of a month. Students will create a power point presentation that documents their own personal journey, which will be presented at the end of the month. Students will also research their chosen activity using the internet and will include these findings in their power point presentation. The activities described in this lesson will meet sixth grade Language Arts Standard 7: Oral Communication, and sixth through eighth grade Physical Education Standard 3: Active Lifestyle. The Technology Standards that will be addressed include using “Technology productivity tools” and “Technology communications tools.”

Blog post #4

For this post I found an intriguing website from the University of Oregon. Since I'm not planning on being a teacher of any sort, I found something that I can more closely relate to. My emphasis in Kinesiology is Strength & Conditioning. This is a page related to the U of O's strength and conditioning program. It's a site composed of numerous links to Facilities, Training methods, History, and pretty much everything related to their program. The site also includes videos and pictures which is always a good thing in my book. The most helpful thing to me was their examples of Off-season, In-season training.
It amazed me while I was browsing this site when I saw the training facilities available to Oregon athletes. I couldn't help but compare them to the ones I see here at UH. I wasn't embarrassed, just a little in awe. It's often been said that an athletics program is only as strong as it's Strength & Conditioning program. That being said, it's almost a miracle that our school can compete so well athletically when we don't have half the support and facilities of most Universities.

Blog Comments? (Blog Post #2)

Well I've been looking at a bunch of blogs and noticing that the comments people leave are sometimes more interesting or entertaining than the actual blog post. Most comments I've seen have been positive ones. Usually they show acknowledgement or support to the author. Once in a while I would come across negative comments but those people seem to not enjoy life. I think if you don't like what you're reading STOP READING IT. But that's just me. Some comments had nothing to do with the post and I just assumed those comments will be deleted soon. I also found that in some blogs readers that leave comments actually recognize each other and talk amongst themselves in the blog about the new topic of the day, week, month or even year.

So what's the purpose of comments? I guess as bloggers we kind of need a place for comments. It seems like comments are a way for readers to show appreciation/ interest to the author and his/her posts. It's an opportunity for them to interact. Readers can just read the blog and comment on it if they feel the need to respond to whatever the blog states. They can also add their own thoughts on the topic. The good thing about this comment button is that the author can usually choose what comments remain on the page.

So.... if you, yea YOU leave a comment that I don't like,....I can just delete your comment. Just click on that red box with the X on the corner of your screen and save me the trouble (or if your using a mac I think it's the red circle) ok? mahalo.

Anyway, I think comments are a great part of a blog and it shows us as authors that people actually appreciate your ideas sometimes.

The Training Room(Blog Post #1)

The "Training Room" is a blog about various sports medicine topics. Because I'm a Kinesiology major and not planning to be a teacher, this site is more related to my future career. The Author of this blog is Dr. Nicholas Dinubile. It includes everything from Pro sport reports to injury prevention and rehab. There's also posts relating to strength training and sport performance. Most of the posts on this blog are small articles about sports and health. My interest is in the sports medicine field so this blog site caught my eye. It's a good idea to keep up with the latest findings especially in the medical field. The Training Room can be found at http://health.yahoo.com/experts/sportsnick. There is also a link to Dr. Dinubile's personal website.
