The
affinity group I joined was Edutopia. After reading the lists, looking at many,
this seemed very interesting to me, due to the fact that it covers many topics.
As a physical education teacher, there aren’t too many of the affinity groups
that were specific to my content area.
After
reading, researching, and exploring Edutopia I found that I liked the realistic
topics. There were many teachers who discussed real life lessons such as adding
blogs into their weekly assignments to increase writing assignments for
students. There was an article on different apps to use in for students to
increase their reading skills. Some topics are focused for the teachers and
others were more focused on the students and ways to improve the lessons. I
found this to be useful and fun. So many people have great ideas, and it is a
wonderful place for people to share their experiences and ideas.
Reading Edutopia brought back the excitement to improve my lessons. In physical
education I don’t get to use technology often, for lack of a classroom.
However, there are so many ideas out there such as; twitter, blogs for
homework, apps, and more. There are really endless possibilities out there, and
it was really interesting to read all of the ideas that real life teachers use
in their classrooms.
