About Me

I have been coaching Basketball and golf for the past 5 years and have loved every moment of it. It is why I have decided to head back to school to become a physical education teacher. I really love being able to shape the next generation through sports and education.

Podcasting

Podcasting can be a great way to reach your students outside of your classroom.

For example, my assistant coach and I created a podcast that can go out to friends and family that allows them to stay updated on the world of golf at Meadow Creek High School. They are able to see how their friends and family members have done and here recaps of the meets that we took part in.

Google Docs

Google Docs are a great resource to have and use within the classroom. Just think about it. If your computer crashes you will still have all of your documents saved. It is free. It is easy to use. It is very user friendly. And most of all, if you are used to using Microsoft office it is very similar to that.

It would be an easy way to have your students work together and not have to worry about who has what software. One of the biggest problems I have when I send out emails with attachments is people writing back saying that they do not have that software to be able to open it up.

Google Docs help in many different ways and can be great to get all your kids using.
