Mini-Conference Reflection

Attending the Mini-Conference here at SUNY Cortland was a great decision, and I really enjoyed the time I spent at the different sessions. The keynote speaker was extremely inspirational, and I really enjoyed and took in everything he had to say. If every Physical Education teacher was just half as enthusiastic and dedicated as he was, there would be no questions/problems with people questioning the profession. One other session which I attended also sticks out in my mind; the Polar session. I do not know if I would use this type of technology when I go out to teach, but technology is definitely something that I want to integrate. Being technology savvy is something that needs to come along with teaching because that is the path the entire world is going in. I would love to use some of the technology and programs that were presented during the session, I just feel like it may be a little expensive for the majority of districts to afford. I could be wrong, and if I was, I would probably purchase this technology in a second. Overall, I really enjoyed myself at the Mini-Conference. The conference really allowed me to see a few of the things which it takes to be a successful physical educator.
