Welcome to my educational issues blog!
I am a recent graduate from teachers college at Brock University where I earned the ability to teach health and physical education and history at the intermediate/senior level. I am a personal trainer and a strength and conditioning specialist who final made the decision to go back to school to do complete my teachers college certificate that I was initially going to complete when I graduated university the first time in 2011.
As someone who is passionate about health and fitness, and have had my own successful body transformation as a bikini competitor, I am quite active on social media and communicating through the internet and am well aware of the need to discover the different ways in which we can incorporate the internet and our students cell phones into the course content, as they are going to be on them so I believe that it is best to work with our students rather then being in a constant battle with them.
I also firmly believe that because of the reliance of our students on social media sites, there is quite an impact on their mental health as they place quite an emphasis on how much their social media presence relates to their level of popularity or who they are as an individual. Therefore, I believe that as an educators, especially a future phys ed teacher, that I can help my students to become more aware of how best to navigate through the online world and allow themselves to use their social media presence as an extension of who they rather then allowing it to impact who they are.
