Entry 3

Site # 1

http://www.teach-nology.com/teachers/lesson_plans/physical_ed/

This site is not only for physical education, but also has other school subjects such as art, social studies, science, math, literature, health, and many others. While the categories are on the left hand side, the sub-categories appear on the middle through the right side of the web page. I noticed that there is a printable lesson plan and time saver sheets which is nice if you are just looking for a fast template or something to give you a basis to start to create your own lesson plan template. While sifting through the site I noticed that if you are looking for more then what the site is offering you can pay a registration fee and become a member of the site and have full access to the website archives. This site is very easy to navigate and has a great layout.

Site # 2

This site is excellent when wanting a game for a specific grade or if you need a game for a specific skill set. These games are all around being active and having fun. There are games that go as low as the age of 3 and up to grade 12 which is a great site to have all grades in one place. There is a fantastic category called “boards” under this category it will show you bulletin boards that have been created for physical education; a great way to get the creative juices rolling to come up with a unique bulletin board for your gym.  There are many unique aspects to this site to help a beginning teacher get the ball rolling.

Site # 3

http://lessonplancentral.com/lessons/Physical_Education/Games/index1.htm

This site gives games and in the description gives the skills that the students will be working on while participate. An annoying feature of this site is the mass amount of advertisements that run along the top, left, and right sides of the pages, make sure you only click in the centre of the web page. Once you click on the game that you are interested in are you able to see what the appropriate grade level is. The instructions to the operations of the games are easy to follow, list the need equipment, and what skills are being worked on. There are not many games posted on its site which is a bit of a downer.
