Reinventing the Game

OCTOBER 23, 2020

Some noteworthy situations arise recently. I was taking the last couple of lessons for my classes before exams start and the end of year activities take over. This is usually the point where a whole year’s of effort culminates and everyone sort of wind down from an intense academic calendar. My intention with the class is to allow some autonomy for the students and connecting it to a learning process where I get students to contemplate what they are doing and connecting it to the bigger picture

Okay, blogger newbie mistake. This was one of my FIRST blog posts, and as a new super excited and eager blogger, I originally combined two of my fall recipes in one post. Who thought that was a good idea? . Since this was one of my most requested recipes, I decided to bite the bullet and make it one individual blog post. . This particular recipe makes plenty of food, it’s incredibly easy and so many variations can be made.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

The online world and social media in particular is overrun with self-proclaimed experts - we might call them virtual experts. But as with truth, real expertise is as rare as ever in the digital era (notwithstanding the aforementioned ‘instant expert’ social media phenomenon). One reason why true experts remain such a rare breed is that developing expertise is a complex and multifaceted process that takes many years and arguably is never complete.
