LAB D HURLING time coding form

HURLING LAB D time coding form

After doing my timing coding form for my lab D, my activity time was not at my target of having over 50% of my teaching time becoming activity time for my students, but it was close. I ended up having 44% activity time. This could be a specific part of my teaching that I can work on in the future. My management time for this lab was excellent. It was under the target of 15% of management time alloted. I felt like my instruction time was long enough and beneficial to the students in my class, in order to learn the skills and cues necessary to perform the onetimer shot.
For my future teaching lesson, I will work specifically on having more activity time for the students in my class.

RA Job (10hrs of community service)

I love being an RA, I think it is the best job to have on campus.
I meet so many people by being an RA. I really like interacting and working with my staff in an all freshman building. My staff works as a team to achieve common goals. We work to build community among the residents to to maintain a safe living environment for everybody. We also put on social, educational, and diversity, and service learning programs each month My job to be a resource and role model to the residents living in my building. I am there to guide the guys on my floor and offer assistance to them. I feel that I am making a small difference in some of their lives. I really enjoy my job, so it never feels like I am working. I have become a much better leader through this job opportunity.
I have used a command style in teaching and directing my residents. I have learned to become very organized with paperwork for my job. It is a great responsibility being in charge of 25 residents, checking up on them, and seeing if they need assistance, and offering advice. I have really learned to be a team player, and put others before myself through my job as an RA. I have responsibility of watching over my residents. I have to be an authority figure and role model to my students. I have office hours to be available to my students. I definately am willing to put in the time for more residents, just as my students would need extra time after class. I have learned to take constructive criticism from my boss, just as I would accept criticism from my prinicipal and colleagues.

Hurling lab D 11/17

I taught my 15 minute lesson on hurling for my lab D. My focus for this class was to introduce the one-timer shot. I reviewed the cues for the group, the ready position, and how to strike a ball. During my lesson, I had multiple girls in the class come up and flirt with me. I did not think I handled the situation in the best way. I played along with them. I do not think of my classmates as students when I teach, because I am close friends with a lot of the people in the class. I forgot to mention my safety statement during my instruction time. I also forgot to take pictures as my students were performing their one-timer skills. During the lesson, I feel I gave the students a lot of activity time. The class got a little out of hand at one point. I feel I had no control because my activities were too spread out because I utilized the entire gym. If I taught this lab again I would make 2 stations on the 2 nets and have my students work on making accurate passes to their partner and have their partner try to shoot at a target. For the mini hurling game, I could have added a goalie to make it more difficult to score. Or I could have made the goals wider to add more scoring opportunities. I could have added sideline players to the game to open up space. I think the class enjoyed my instant activity of oogedy boogedy tag. It was a new activity I have never heard of before and I think the class had a lot of fun with it.

Explorer Scavenger Hunt

Freddy and DJ's lesson was very informative on old explorers. I thought this activity was very fun exciting and challenging. I enjoyed taking pictures with my group and traveling through park center. I feel this lesson kept me very active. I think it would have went a lot smoother if we did not have a fire alarm during the activity. I also feel once we found a clue, we should have received the next clue at that station. I really liked Freddy's costume with the hat and parrot on his shoulder. I think he had a great introduction and had very good visual aids. I can do a scavenger hunt in my physical education class and use material they learn from their others classes to reinforce the information. I would peform the scavenger hunt in just the gymnasium. I would not have my students running through parking lots, and away from my supervision. I really liked how the lesson had a lot of activity time. Interdisciplinary teaching is effective to many students. Teaching one style, information might not get through to all students. Using many different teaching techiques allows for more learning opportunities among students. I think the data collected accurately supports my step count and rate rate. My heartrate definately elevated as I was trying to find the clues and take pictures with my group.

Instant Activity

I was asked to lead the instant activity for the class. I had to think of an activity that would make everybody warmup and be ready to participate. I came up for a version of tag related to halloween because it was close to the holiday. I think I explained the rules pretty clearly, and changed up the activity by adding more taggers and having the class perform different loco motor skills. I established boundaries and had a safety statement prior to the activity starting. I think the class enjoyed my halloween version of tag. It was a new activity for me and them to enjoy.

EDU 255 LAB C hurling Time coding form

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhthvh8g_7f4vfmxfk

above is the time coding form for my hurling lesson for lab c day two.

From doing this form, I realize I should have more activity time in my lesson. I should spend less time on instructing and management, and have more activity time, so my students are staying active throughout the class. 47% of my time was spent on giving my students cues, rules, and tasks to perform. Only 39% of the time spent during my lesson was activity time for my students. My goal for my class is to have activity time to be over 50%. 17% of my lesson was devoted to management. I should work on making smoother transitions from giving out equipment, an having them focus on more activity time. Throughout my lesson, I noticed I give very general feedback to individual students. I also gave individual instruction througout the lesson. I gave critical feedback and tried to make my students perform the task the correct way. Now as I prepare for my lab D, I need to make the activity time for my lesson over 50%
