A horror movie with no popcorn......

I sat down at my computer, and i hade no clue what i was about to watch. I clicked on the chapter that i was to watch myself teaching. As the clip ran i realized i was watching a horror movie! But this horror movie didn't allow me to enjoy it with a bag of popcorn, but instead with lots of regrets and realizing how much work i need. I was like a old rusty kettle that needs some oiling. I guess at first we don't realize how much better we can be. Viewing my self, gave me a big time wake up call. I need to maximize the amount of activity time in my lesson. Having kids stand around in line just is not cool, and no fun for the students. I have to think back to when i was in PE classes and the things that made me loose intrest in what the teaching way saying. Like lecturing on, and on, when all we wanted to do was just play, laugh, and most importantly beat the boys!!! Just playing....but fun is a big part of kids learning, and i really need to start allowing my class to have more fun...
