Title of Bulletin Board: Exergaming Bulletin Board
Category: Exergaming
Suggested Grade Level: 9-12
Materials: Pictures, staples, glue, boarder, black poster board, paper and ink
Description:
The bulletin board highlights some of the equipment that is used in our exergaming lab. The equipment that we specifically used were the punching bags, steppers, bikes, Wii and the Eye Toy. We tried to highlight these pieces of equipment and show that they can be used in physical education. We also placed on our bulletin board a link to the Presidents Challenge web site. This reference to the website allows people to see that if they use the equipment correctly for an hour a day the president considers this sufficient daily exercise. The link also allows people to sign up at the presidents challenge web site to record their own personal daily exercise.

Practical Volunteer Experience





For our 255 class we needed to spend a minimum of 10 hours working with children, outside of our daily classes. I would have to say that I spent much more than10 hours at St. Mary's this year. I am glad that I did too because I really enjoyed my volunteer experiences. I was a TA there for Professor Yang's 201 class, where every other week I was at the school working with the students at St. Mary's. This semester I also reffed the annual alumni basketball tournament, and helped out in the St. Mary's walk run that they held last month. I really love the school and everyone there. St. Mary's offered me a job for next semester when I come back to school to work in their after school program, which I was ecstatic about! I would love to work at this school and I really hope that my schedule allows for it!! Thank you so much St. Mary's for this amazing opportunity!!!

3 Gimps and a Red Head :)


I loved being a TA for 201!! I could not have asked for a better group either!! I have enjoyed every minute of it and honestly I am sad to say that it is over! My group included me in everything that they did and I love that!! I am glad that I was able to help this lab in their journey of becoming better teachers!! I know that they will make great teachers and I can honestly say that this is their passion and that it really shows that they are made for this profession. Just the joy that they get from going to St. Mary's is amazing. They always leave with a smile on their face. I am so proud of all of them in the class especially the men that were in my group!! Proud of all of you and I cannot wait to see what your future holds for you!!


So proud of you!!!

iDance


Who loves to dance?!! I love to dance!!! iDance is tons of fun and its a program that will definitely get you to sweat!! Steph and Max taught Lab D with the iDance equipment. I really enjoy iDance because I like to see what I am doing on a screen in front of me. I also love that it shows statistics because I am very competitive and I love seeing where I am at compared to all of my fellow classmates. I think that both Max and Steph did an amazing job teaching their lab D. They had great progressions and

modifications to the equipment. It amazes me how much you can do with all of this technology!! I remember when I first saw the equipment I was a bit intimidated, but now I get on it all the time and I encourage others to do the same!!!! Try something new! You never know how things may turn out unless you do!




We are an army of dancing 
machines!!




Steph and Max great job!!!!
