C4T #4 Post #1

For my C4T #4, I choose the author Phys Ed Practitioner R. In this blog post, the author was discussing the dominance of sports in the P.E. curriculum. Basically this blog argued whether sports education have the evidence to support our desire to change to using this as an alternative approach to our teaching. It argues that nearly ten years ago we had enough evidence to show that this approach works. But the question is how this one way of teaching and learning promotes health and physical activities. Also the blog ask to consider that if sports are the dominant approach, do students learn more about health outside of the Physical Education classroom. In my comment to this post, I said that I personal think that students do learn about Physical activities outside their P.E. classroom because at the secondary grade level all students are required to take a health class and also students can learn about personal health and physical activities from their parents or other family members.

C4T #4 Post #2

My second C4T was a teacher by the name of Lois Lindemann. Mrs. Lindemann teaches math at Dornfield Henry Fanshawe School, a secondary school in the UK. Mrs Lindmann blog post is titled There’s a maths problem lurking in the corner of this gift shop. Her blog post was simply a picture of the alphabet but it also contain a math problem. In her post, she ask the question, "What’s the first question that you think of when you look at this photo?" The first question I thought of is why is the letter "E" missing. Mrs. Lindemann metion that she will be trying an "E Numbers task" data handling task with her 10 students sometime soon, so that was the purpose of the picture in blog post.
