Blog Post 13

I really enjoy the instructions for this weeks blog post! All year we have got our blog post outlines and instructions from Dr. Strange. This weeks blog post he has given up the control and has let us make our own instructions for a blog post and perform it for a chance of him making it a future EDM 310 blog post.

The blog post has to be molded towards your field of study. My field of study is physical education. My blog post instructions would be to write about a sports star that has a positive influence on you and younger kids. A little bit of research will have to be done on the person.

Many players influence me in a good way but no other sports superstar has a positive effect on me like Drew Brees. Drew Brees is the ultimate leader on and off the field. He is a true professional and carries himself in a great manor. He never seems to lose his cool. He went to Purdue university and then after was drafted as the first pick in the second round of the NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers in 2001. He was then traded to the New Orleans Saints in 2006. Brees has been a big helping hand in the rebirth of the city of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. He is a family man. He seems to love his family very much. He has had numerous moments on TV with his son. Brees is a great person and teammate to many people and he is someone I look up to. Here is a link to The Brees Dream Foundation

  1. Interesting idea, Tyler. I wondered how PE teachers would use technology. Giving students the liberty to choose a person they find interesting is smart. You could also have them choose their favorite sport or skill you teach them and have the students find the person most successful in that area. That might get them outside of the typical baseball/football thinking. Students would enjoy looking up facts about their favorite players. This would make an interesting blog during pro and collegiate playoffs.

  2. Great idea! It would be hard as a physical education teacher to integrate technology. This blog would allow your students to do research while still staying in a sports mindset. I think this would be fun to write and to read!
