My web cam is not working correctly right now, so here is the text of my response for this week.

What I Learned

I learned a lot about literacy instruction through this assignment. As a physical education teacher, it is difficult for me to understand how to implement literacy instruction in my classroom. I have not been given guidance on how to do so and this makes me apprehensive about attempting to incorporate literacy education because I am fearful that it will not be successful and the students will not gain the knowledge they need to be successful. But the articles that I read for this assignment show literacy incorporation is indeed successful. Many of the teachers began their studies with similar concerns as me. They didn’t know how to properly incorporate literacy into their content area, but with guidance and honest attempts they became successful at doing so. This gives me hope, because I feel responsible for my students’ academic achievement, even if I am not a classroom teacher.

  1. I can appreciate your app pretension with incorporating technology within your classroom. Hopefully throughout the semester you will learn fun and creative ways to integrate literacy within your physical education class.

  2. Your literature review matrix identified the necessary articles and correctly noted the targeted information. I especially liked your practical application column.
