Reflection

1. I can see using youtube, as there are many dance steps taught in detail on that sight. I can use it to teach myself the steps, and/or we can use it as a station, where the students teach it to themselves.

2. As I don't feel very computer savvy, yet, I would like to collaborate with other Health Fitness teachers in the district, informally as well as in structured learning environments how to actually incorporate much of this in to our everyday Health Fitness activities.

3. I think there were several unexpected outcomes as a result of the 11 tools training. First, and I know I have seen this on several blogs...the time factor. Yes, there was a multitude of information, very important, and very interesting. However, giving 9 hours of staff development credit for something that took MANY more hours than that, is unrealistic. Secondly, as the deadline for the 11 tools approached, I was faced with an unexpected and unfortunate situation. I was out of town for 18 days, due to the illness and untimely death of my father, and could not finish by the deadline. No one really knew what I should do. Third, I did attend a help session, that was very helpful. I think that an introductory class should have been offered to get us started off on the right foot, so to speak, and subsequent help sessions along the way.
