Significant Postings from the Blogging Experience

Most of the postings on this blog are very informative. As a Physical Education teacher, I was happy to see that people are realizing the importance of physical education. There are several postings about the influence physical activity has on academics, obesity, and mental health. The article about obseity in Georgia shows the need for increased P.E time in school. Most of the students today only participate in physical activity at school. The day when students used to play with their friends at home is rapidly disappearing. I try to expose the students to a variety of sport, so that can find one that they enjoy and take it up as a life long activity. Physical Education is one of the most important aspects of school life. The benefits of Physical Education are enormous. It provides an opportunity for children to work together, solve problems, build confidence, and make healthy choices. Physical Education in school provides a structured environment to promote a healthy lifestyle and develop life long skills. The latest trend in Physical Education is to integrate other subject areas into the lesson plan. for example, the students are learning math while they are praticing basketball drills.
