With the $2,000 to spend for my physical education class I would buy the Dell M109S On-the-go Projector. This costs $399 dollars. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Projectors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=224-0939&~ck=bncat&~bk=gr:bnMap:CategoryRec,g:NextStep,rk:
I can hook the projector up to my lab top and display large images for my class. It will be very helpful to display fitness videos to my students, instructions for activities, fitness results, and much more! It is important for my physical education class because it will be an efficient way to utilize class time. I will be able to explain tasks and provide cues verbally and visually to my students with the use of the projector. It can easily be used with a bare wall in my gym and will provide a big enough picture for all my students to see. I can utilize the projector to motivate my students and keep them interested in the tasks being performed in class.
With the additional money I will buy the Wii DDR Super Group Fitness Pack. This costs $1,579.99. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Projectors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=224-0939&~ck=bncat&~bk=gr:bnMap:CategoryRec,g:NextStep,rk:
This product includes a Wii system with remote control, 1 nunchuck controller, 1 Wii Sport game, 1 Wii DDR the hottest party game, 2 DDR Energy metal dance pads, 6 practice pads, and 8 DDR game digital pedometers. I can use all this equipment to make my physical education class more exciting and fun for my students, while at the same time keeping them physically fit. This is important for my class because it is hard for students to stay motivated in P.E. and this will give me a way to change the way the think about it and change their actions in class. I can utilize the Wii console for other fitness games for my students too. This whole package is key to improving my physical education class and making my students physically active for life.
I think both of these purchases would be beneficial to the physical education program. I like how she found an inexpensive lap top for only $400 that is functional for what she needs it for. I also like the purchase of the Wii console. This will allow her to create a unique unit that most students have not been introduced to in physical education before. The unit would be something new and interesting to the students.
ReplyDeleteThis is really creative. I like the use of DDR in the physical education classroom because it is something so relevant to the students and encourages them to continue to exercise at home if they have this system. I also think it would be cool to provide them with access to this equipment after school, which students would be inclined to use because it is new, innovative, and age appropriate.
