A nationwide movement shows why so many children exercise so little while an elite few become carried away with sport-specific training. Although this article requires a subscription, the essence is that despite great sports programs, the majority of children don't get enough exercise (#physicalliteracy) and gross motor skill development. For some reason, we tend to exclude those who don't have the requisite skills to compete athletically which sends the wrong message. My cousin (Philip Yang of Yamaji Dojo) has a great solution by accepting all those interested. Read what he recently posted to his Facebook Group:<br />
<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">215 is my new favorite number... the number of members who joined our club this month.</span></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Jujutsu does not weed out the weak, the less talented or those with a less competitive nature. Because the weak will become strong, the less talented will aquire skills and all will become confident. Jujutsu only weeds out those who stop training.</span></i></blockquote>

This is an old link and was in draft status, but it's a great looking #infographic. <a href="http://mat.usc.edu/u-s-education-versus-the-world-infographic/">U.S. Education vs. The World</a> is a very cool infographic from <a href="http://mat.usc.edu/">MAT@USC</a>. You can imagine this data as a boring series of bar charts in an academic report, but the colorful, visual design here is fantastic. The winding connecting lines can make it a little difficult for the reader to understand the data, but I think it also draws the reader in like a simple puzzle.<br />

<em>We’ve put together this infographic that compares the United States’ education spend and performance versus eleven countries. The U.S. is the clear leader in total annual spending, but ranks 9th in Science performance and 10th in Math.</em><br />

Having attention problems as a young child predicted later difficulties with response inhibition in adolescence. As educators, its really important to establish clear and effective behavior management strategies and classroom/gym rules. Helping young children especially with inattention, disorganization, impulsivity, and hyperactivity at a young age might help offset or reduce lower executive function scores as adolescents. I would love to know what more about intervention studies run and their long-term impact on executive function levels.<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403838; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Attention problems (behavior problems including inattention, disorganization, impulsivity, and hyperactivity) are widely thought to reflect deficits in executive functions (EFs). However, it is unclear whether attention problems differentially relate to distinct EFs and how developmental stability and change predict levels of EFs in late adolescence. We investigated, in an unselected sample, how teacher-rated attention problems from ages 7 to 14 years related to three correlated but separable EFs, measured as latent variables at age 17. Attention problems at all ages significantly predicted later levels of response inhibition and working memory updating, and to some extent set shifting; the relation to inhibiting was stronger than the relations to the other EFs or IQ. Growth models indicated that attention problems were quite stable in this age range, and it was the initial levels of problems, rather than their changes across time, that predicted later EFs. These results support the hypothesis that attention problems primarily reflect difficulties with response inhibition.</i></span></span></blockquote>

I spent a few days in March at Naperville, IL where PE, recess, and physical activity is paramount to learning for all, but especially for those with difficulty learning math, and reading (part of Common Core). These are the results for the <a href="http://learningreadinesspe.com/" target="_blank">Learning Readiness PE</a> program over 5 years:</div>

<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Robbins" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Tony Robbins">Anthony Robbins</a> is a world-famous motivator and life-coach but its great that he offers lots of little videos to compliment their Coach Training website and his mega workshops. I think it is so important for everyone, especially those in education, to work on your own professional development and growth. To really make a difference you need to be a lifelong learner and have a thirst for constant growth. Reading, taking workshops, discussing with peers and mentors and contributing to your <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/rockstarpe/pd" target="_blank">Personal Learning Network</a> will make all the difference in your potential.<br />

According to a recent survey by Rutgers University’s Heldrich Center for Workforce Development [<a href="http://www.heldrich.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/content/Work_Trends_May_2011.pdf">pdf</a>], the above are recent college graduates’ seven biggest regrets looking back on their college years as they consider their current employment situation. While most graduates say they are ultimately happy with their decision to have gone to college, a full 74% regret not doing something differently. The tops: Wishing they had been more careful about selecting a major or choosing a different major, or getting more part-time work or internship experience.</blockquote>

I've been toying around with lots of these Classroom Response Systems (CRS) and like the fact that many of them are free and can be accessed with multiple devices (SMS, twitter, web, apps, etc.). I've listed a bunch of systems at the end of the post but wanted to share 2 new ones including one still in closed Beta. Although I love the intent of these tools, the majority of the scenarios are unfortunately still modeled in the traditional teacher-centeted class or lecture-based delivery format. From what we know about different learning and teaching styles, surely we can give better examples of student-centered learning, problem-based, project-based, team-based, just something besides the lecture.</div>

When the day came when I had to do my Lab D for Professor<span class="fullpost"> Yang emotions were running through my body. It seemed to be so much work, however when you have something you love to do you don't mind running around like a chicken with your head cut off. While keeping your cool of course.</span><br />

at the time, I had recently got a summer job in Cortland for the summer so it felt like I was working two jobs at once! Talk about exhilarating. I think this will help me in the long run however. If I could learn now how to handle two jobs then I think I'll be better off in the future. When I do get out into the teaching world I wont be able to just teach. I feel like I need another job, such as coaching or working at a fitness club or even a camp. Something to make myself more available to the people in my community. I feel it is very important to have outside resources readily available. It is not only us that should be the P"E Rockstar" for life but everybody. If we can get the idea of being healthy is fun into peoples minds, then we've done our job.<br />

If we could get kids moving more times a day at the heart rate that would qualify as a good workout then we are going to have healthier kids. There are ways to make every child want to be physically active, whether that means "tricking" him into doing so or not. Professor Yang is a huge endorser of the exergaming workouts, how innovative is that! Talking about reaching out to the people who don't usually like Physical Education! Reaching out to these students is our duty, we might not be able to force them to play, but the ability to let them have fun is always there!<br />
I encourage you to visit my personal blog. the site is www.pemrus.blogspot.com. I will be doing my 256 field experience this summer and I am very excited to keep everybody updated on what I am doing and how it is panning out. Who could forget about raquette lake this summer as well. Both of these experiences should be one to remember for a long time.<br />

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Scavenger Hunt </span>by Kimberly Arnold</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img height="357" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B3nqcSDk4r4/T5xQp_LcOjI/AAAAAAAAALs/pDrdkPPh9EY/s640/Downloads1.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My last teaching experience for Basics of Effective Instruction in Physical Education course has come to a close. The experience, however challenging it was for me, revealed my potential. It was a great learning opportunity. As I reflect back, there were both positive and negative outcomes. I know that I have come a long way from that four-minute skill-teaching lab at the beginning of the semester and yet I there are still mountains in the distance. I can see that I have developed a certain confidence talking in front of a group that I never had. However, I still need to be careful with my words, as at times I'm less than precise with my words.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_YoIp7_KpGw" width="420"></iframe></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-CbdNYWfL2zzGGaxVK0tW9IdPE3OpZMDPXaM_CBPjHL0blxCX" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-CbdNYWfL2zzGGaxVK0tW9IdPE3OpZMDPXaM_CBPjHL0blxCX" width="212" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">This last lab gave me a change to be creative and original. I believe that some of the components really enhanced the experience for my classmates. I presented them with a Challenge By Choice in which they would link up with classmates during the scavenger hunt. This forced every last person to work together and cooperation with each other. I would do something similar to this again, however I might use a Hula Hoop instead and have only two or three people in a group. Either way, the concept lends itself to a true cooperative learning experience. Additionally, I started the class with two different lead in activities. I felt that both activities were necessary to begin to establish the working climate between students. They quickly played a game of Blog Tag and then I had groups work their way through three stations to introduce the topic of the scavenger hunt (the harmful effects of cigarette smoking). The class did the final station together. FYI, I had planned to do all the station in groups but I rotated the groups incorrectly. Nonetheless, I was glad that I goofed up because I think that the last station activities created a fun and spontaneous atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/in7JzFnORK0" width="420"></iframe></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, there were a few near fatal flaws in my teaching. First, I failed to provide students will emergency contact information. Since one group was on their one during half the class, I should have given contact numbers if there were any problems. Second, I planned to do the first pinpoint location on the <a href="http://www.mobileadventurewalks.com/" target="_blank">Mobile Adventure Walks App</a> together. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/challengepost/photos/production/27282/solution_photos/xlarge.gif?1324417622" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></a><a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-CbdNYWfL2zzGGaxVK0tW9IdPE3OpZMDPXaM_CBPjHL0blxCX" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/challengepost/photos/production/27282/solution_photos/xlarge.gif?1324417622" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/challengepost/photos/production/27282/solution_photos/xlarge.gif?1324417622" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">This would have allowed me to make sure that each group took a different route. In addition, at that time I knew that had to give them cues on how best to work the app. I should have address how to determine their next destination. This mistake did cause some hiccups. Also, I never told the students who were the acting touring guides to read the question aloud as they reached each location. Futhermore, I should have better explained what they were looking for and what they were to do at each location (take an index card and leave the item in the container). All of those glitches could have been avoid had I remember to complete the first location together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bmoOhmpKe6k" width="420"></iframe></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another significant problem of my lesson was that I gave them too many tasks to complete while the hunt was in progress. I asked them upload pictures to Twitter, complete a worksheet, and create a jingle. Looking back I probably should have left the assignment to the end of class as a take home assignment. They had too many things in their hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the other hand, many qualities about my lesson were strong. My lesson was structured to educate the participants, learning through the physical, as my professor says. It was not just a simple scavenger hunt but rather a means to have student begin to understand their own health as it relates to personal decisions and smoking cigarettes. It is this concept that inspired me. If you don’t already know, I currently work in the healthcare field. The reason for my transition into Physical Education is largely due all that I have witness in my career. Physical Education can’t just be about promoting athletes and good PACER scores, but must be about teaching children the ways in which to develop and maintain their own personal health. This is vital; so that future generations will not continue to experience the same health aliments that are facing our nation now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Congratulations to two of Cortland PE students and Rockstar PE Alum Tracy McClure and Nate Davis for <a href="http://www2.cortland.edu/bulletin/ion-detail.dot?id=990ec33f-b967-4f67-acb3-b5773f98bb16&backUrl=/bulletin/issues/bulletin-11-12/bulletin-17-may-8-2012.dot" target="_blank">being elected to membership in Alpha Sigma Lambda</a>, an international honor society recognizing the academic achievements of non-traditional students.<br />
<br />
<i>Alpha Sigma Lambda national standards reserve membership for students who are in the top 10 percent of all non-traditional students at the College. Members must have completed 24 credits hours of work at SUNY Cortland with a grade point average of 3.2 or higher. For the inductees to be in the top 10 percent of students at SUNY Cortland this year, they needed to have a GPA of 3.65 or greater. The GPA range for this group of students inducted was 3.65 to 4.22.</i><br />
