http://thepegeek.com/ -- This blog is amazing!!! I'm so inspired as a physical education teacher and instructional designer after visiting this site. The self-proclaimed "PE Geek" is actually Jarrod Robinson a physical education teacher in Victoria, Australia. His blog is geared toward connecting technology innovation to improving instruction in physical education settings.
His objective is to share the various ways he is attempting to engage his students in PE through technology. For example, he posts about using twitter, vodcasts demonstrating how to use "instant replay", and using sites like surveymonkey.com to help students create their own surveys on physical education related topics.
Within several minutes of visiting this blog I had already generated new ideas to bring to my classes and couldn't wait to try them out, specifically using video to help my students evaluate their own skill development.
My only criticism is...I WANT MORE!!! The blog posts could be a little more detailed in terms of helping teachers implement these technologies into classes. This is a blog that I truly look forward to following on a consistent basis and can see myself contributing to this blog "community."
