Lab 3-Google Docs

Today in class we explored google docs. We uploaded our introductions into google docs and then from there we shared our introductions with our group memebers. After that the indroductions were placed in a booklet. I have never used google docs before its amazing that you can edit a document no matter where you are. All the documents can be edited in google docs and others can see it right away. Google docs makes working togather more efficient!

My Concept Map

 My concept map is on the basics of fishing. Fishing is a lesiure sport that is a favorite past time for many. The concept map has four main areas they are fishing safety, seasons for fishing, equipment, and techniques. Under each of the categories there are specific items that relate to there main idea that they fall under. If I could take my students to a lake or pond we would cover these basic ideas. There could be more details added, so it would need to be "beefed up". I believe that giving the students the oppourtunity to get outside and learn a hands on activity like fishing is very important.

Introduction

Hi my name is Thad Martin. I am a health and physical education major. I want to be a teacher because I love working with kids and basically my whole family are teachers. They inspired me to enter the education department. Also, I like to stay fit and active and play sports such as basketball. Every summer I work at a recreation center with kids of all ages. I enjoy doing this because I love to enteract and have fun with the kids.

This summer was the first time I took an online class. I look Recreaction Management. The only part I liked about it was not having to physically go to class. Everything else about having an online class I did not like. I did not like it because it was like I was teaching myself and technology isn't my strong point as it is. Also, I did not like how if I had a problem I had to email the professor instead of being able quickly get an answer in person.

If this course was offered online I would still take it in class rather than online. I feel the class is already going to be a challenge for me so having to take it online would make it even harder.

One interesting fact about myself is that I sleep with a basketball. I have done this since I was young and used to do it every day. I don't do it every day now, but I feel I always sleep better when it's by myself. haha
