Movement Education

Today in my monvement education class with Dr. Bian, I revisited a part of my past that I almost completely forgot about. It took me back to elementary school where I first participated in this activity. The professor brought out a huge parachute, and we used it to work on a number of locomotor skills. We did a number of activities that got out heart rate going. My favorite was when we all lifted it up, and selected a few people to run to the other side before it it fell. This is great activity that I never thought I could enjoy as a college student. If I every end up teaching at the elementary level, I will be sure to try and include this activity in my classroom.

New Aged Media Servers

Media servers of the future are now available. Every type of media that you are exposed to and rely on can now be access through one server. All of your dvds cds, mp3s, even information from PDAs, desktops, lab tops, and pictures from digital cameras can be put into one organized location. It can be accessed from any tv or computer in you house, and with an internet connection it can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

A little about me

My name is Rick Jones, I am a 22 year old junior at Slippery Rock University. My major is Physical Education, and I hope to graduate and become a PE teacher as well as a wrestling coach. I graduated from North Allegheny high school in 2004. I spend my free time relaxing, and when its nice out I am on my boat fishing. My favorite thing to do is go camping, where i spend most of the time on the Allegheny river, either in my boat or my canoe. During Football season you will rarely see me outside, because I will be watching the Steelers.
