Teachers that Blog

Blogging is a great tool to express thought quickly and without pressure. I created a blog several years ago and used the blog briefly but with the ever changing landscape of the classroom environment it quickly was dropped as a teaching tool. I could go back to using my blog as a warm up  prior to the actual physical activity warm ups I do with my students. Technology has become an integral part of the classroom. Students can build virtual relationships with students enrolled in my P.E. courses, yet aren't in the same classroom period together.

What did you do over the weekend that was fun, but was in the great outdoors?

What did you do this weekend that got you physically moving and could be considered fitness or exercise?

I went on a 7 1/2 mile hike in Yosemite National Park on Friday. I rode my biked 10 miles and hiked 3 miles on Saturday. I ended my weekend by riding my bike 60.5 miles with a friend.
