A bit about me...

Hello. I am a Health Education student at University of South Alabama. My goal is to make health more interesting and relatble to the student. To know the lessons and techniques I discuss in class can actually be performed in their everyday routine. Preparing the students through knowing and understanding how healthy living is essential to their well being.

In my estimation, Health trumps all other subjects school board's set when outlining the curriculum. If you are not eating well, exercising, and using proper hygiene techniques, then how are you supposed to think-like critical thinkers, to perform intergration math in calculus or even operate a bunsen burner begining a science experiment.

Most students need the feeling of knowing, "hey this is information I can use today or tomorrow", that will be benefical to my overall well-being no matter my age or stage-professionally I may currently be in.

Podcast/Videocast

This type of technology is growing fast and is increasing its popularity among educators and students.

On iTunesU there are hundreds of sections offering information ranging from, how a teacher can implement ipods in the classrooms to how a volcano works and where some of the active volcano's are located.

*Downloading the iTunes software is free.

*iTunesU offers podcast such as Smartboard Lessons, KidCast and the usage of podcast/videocast the classroom

Podcast/Videocast is another outlet that mostly is a free service that offers another way of gaining information and being creative with your own podcast/videocast.
