Lesson Plan Template Source:
Mr. Lewis > Before choosing a specific format for our template the group search many different websites, also keeping in mined the fact that you the teacher only get to met with the children once or twice a week. One of the websites we looked at was http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/tc0101840010033aspx and found most of the templates are week, monthly or for a specific subject area. The group decided that we wanted a template that we would be able to use on a everyday basis or can use to expand our lesson plans for the next week. This is the reason why we chose to use Mr. Lewis template because there will be different lesson plans being taught each day. By using this template the teacher will be able to cover performance objectives, standards, materials, motivation, content outline, development of understanding and summary.
 * Why did your group choose this specific format for your template?

> **Article Summary:** The article is about how Physical Education teachers will approach the subject of physical education to their students and it gives pointers on how to approach the students with this important lesson on why physical education is too important not to have. Children must participate in the activity to gain the most for their well being and this article shows ways on how to get the students to want to participate and have fun at the same time. An obstacle course where students will do several exercise like jumping jacks follow by jumping over several objects then running in a zig zag form and ultimately racing to the finish line. how would I incorporate this in a lesson plan I would discuss several courses of completing a physical course design for elementary school students. By courses I mean explaining that obstacles courses can involve running, jumping, rolling, lifting, students can do this in one session of exercise. > > **Article Summary:** [This article is about finding ways to improve children's fitness and health activities and find what motivates the student's to want to particpate in the activity. The student's involve in the obstacle course show levels of interest and complete the task this shows that if the activity in the sport is a physcial challenge the students will try their best to complete the task. The article is about what can benefit the students to want to push them to participate for their own physical health excersions. > > **Article Summary:** [This article is about a philosophy which focuses upon good health and disease prevention. Aspect of the philosophy include cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, and balanced body composition. There are guides for planning fitness activites in daily lesson plans, enhancing fitness among young children and a weekly plan with illustrated activities. These activities can be beneficial to the aim that we have decided on. It can show us methods that we can use with the students endurance levels in mind. Knowing how much can be expected from the students these activites can help the students endurance level go up and the students participation in physical activity be more productive.

Lesson Plans:
In my lesson plan I would incorporate these lessons on a regular bases. The students need to practice the skills that are implemented in these lessons in order to gain results from their practice of the physical activity involve. Learning about physical endurance and what the body can handle is of great importance to the physical development of the whole child. > **Lesson Plan Summary:** [This activity will foster the components that we want to strive for which is knowing what our bodies can handled physically and what are the limitations. monitoring the heart rates and learning about how the heart works during physical exercise can be beneficial for students to know. Knowing the physical endurance that children have is important to have a activity that can challenge their abilities in the gym. > > **Lesson Plan Summary:** This activity will help the teachers to be aware the account of activity that your students will be able to endure. The students will learn how to warm up muscles before exerising. They will learn many different types of warm ups and exercises that helps keep there body fit and it will also keep there muscles strong and the heart and also the lungs healthy. > > **Lesson Plan Summary:** [This activity will introduce the students to keeping a physical fitness journal. The students will learn that physical fitness doesn't come easy to most students but with a positive attitude the students can learn to embrace some physical fitness activity in their daily routines and write down how they feel before and after the activity was done. The student can take charge of what physical activity is appropriate for them; example climbing a fight of stairs, doing twenty jumping jacks, a relay race these activities can then be added to their journals and before the month is over the student would have accomplish some form of physical activity on their own time. A discussion in class will take place here the student will discuss what was it like to keep this journal about their physical activity and how they felt after they did the activity. What was learned by keeping a physical activity journal. > > **Lesson Plan Summary:** This lesson supports our aim on the endure level before and after activities but the students will have the opportunity to use an object. The students with be able to see their lower body stretch. They will be able to individually their perform level by recording the number of jump with and without a jump rope. > > **Lesson Plan Summary:** [In this activity the students will work as a team to accomplish a set goal. The activity involves the students to practice their basketball shooting skills using "pars" to keep scores. The students pratice their shooting skills and work as a team keeping score when they get the ball in.The overrall lesson here is for the students to encourage one another to participate in a game of basketball golf where all students get a chance at shooting the basketball in and moving from one level to the next level and improving their strategies skills. This would also help the students work on the upper body stretch by shooting the basketball.]

**Group Definition of Educational Blogs:**
The group felt an education blogs are written by teachers who have experience in the education field. They are blogs that the public can view and also post a common on. We feel it is good for our group to read this educational blogs because we don't work in the school system so they are things that we can learn from the educational blogs weather positive or negative.

 * Summary:

Magdalene Montalvo > **Article #1:** When the fix is in .... > **Summary:** This article was interesting because it tells the story of how the teachers voices are not heard. Teachers have a lot of issues that need to be heard and many times it falls on deaf ears. I'm learning that teacher's issues are important. > > Summary:** This article is interesting because it talks about the school's data system and how it is falling behind with it's overload of personal using the system all the same time. putting data information of risk of a breakdown of retrieving the data. upon reading this article I learned that teachers use the computers a lot for students grades, retrieving lesson plans creating lesson plans and that if there is an overload of usage at the same time the breakdown in the software can cause havoc on getting papers grade, retrieving lessons and getting important information on time and that it be accurate. I think it can affect the teachers job if a wrong grade or lesson plans are delay because of a computer breakdown.

Carmen Resto > This blog is on Educational reform and the freedom to modify. They talk a lot about schools concentrating on test scores today. I believe you can not base a child on one standardized test. I know that testing is every important but sometimes I think that children can get nervous on a test but know the work. Sometimes they just may need more time on the test. I know this for a fact because I was one of those children who need more time on a test. The teacher knows there students and she should be free to modify her lesson plans. I found this blog posting helpful for me because when I become a teacher it gives me different ways on how education is still changing today. Also ways you as a teacher can think like her students so they can learn better and a ART teaching which can engage the students deeply into a subject matter which was very helpful for me to know. I will be able to use the ART teaching with my students if it applies to my lesson or I want them to look at the lesson deeper. The blog posting goes on and on with different ways the school system can change in the future. > > This blog posting concentrates on teaching children to really learn. It is mentioned that standardized testing is not the way to go. They believe it should be replaced by ongoing so called authentic assessments. The classroom is a good place for children to learn because they can explore different area and helps to keep their interests. Children should also be authentic assessments so teachers can see where they at in there education. The blog posting discusses technology and how computer can help children to learn better. I feel that this blog is helpful to me because children do learn better from explore or hands on. I also feel that children do learn better using the computer and it makes learning fun for them. I myself would use technology because it will help the children to learn how to research papers, create, and communicate. This is the future for education reformation.

 * Group Definition of educational Wikis:**

Wiki are internet technologies that are good to do class projects should as the one we are currently working on. It is great because you can add links to your wiki and also you can design you own wiki the way you like too just like Mr. Lewis did for our class. It is so cool! Our class wiki helps us to find our topics that we will be covering in class and assessments that we will need to complete at home. The group also flet that educational wikis are resources that teachers use in order to create lesson plans or to fkind templates that we can use for our lesson plan. Wiki's are very helpful for teachers too communicate or evaluated there students.


 * Example #1: [Specific website were people go to communicate with each other you can read, write or edit information. As we stated above teachers use blogs to communicate with their students or to evaluated.]
 * Example #2: [Teachers can store information on their wiki pages and also can added different links that they finded useful to teach there students. ]
 * Example #3: [They can use the wiki pages as a reference to get a job or create there own portfolio.]

**How does your group envision incorporating educational technologies in your classrooms?**
Me and Maggie disagreed on the on how we both envision incorporating educational technologies in the classroom. I love working on the computer and learned so much form looking up information. First, of all you learn how to read better working on the computer. The computer also informs you if there is an error on your writing and you will be able to correct it. By the time I am a teacher many more things will be on the computer. The school that I am doing my internship at has a computer program that the children use to learn how to spell and also write. Since, Maggie has warm-up to the computer, “She stated how it is good for the students to be able to use for projects or to look up information for a research paper.” There are many resources for the children to learn from using technologies. So know that the semester is almost over we agree that technology will be helpful to students inside the classroom. We have to think of the children who did not have computers inside there household. Maybe the board of education should have a computer course for students to learn how to use the technology and after school the students should be able to go the computer room to look up information so they will be able to educated themselves. Lets face it there is not enough money in the budgets for every students to have the own computer.
