Procrastination

We all go through procrastination and if you say you haven’t, you’re probably lying. There is always something better to do, something more tempting and let’s face it, anything is better than assignments! With these 3 assignments due I thin the upcoming two months I am trying to get them mostly completed before I go on my professional experience. However, procrastination has got the better of me.

I tried researching procrastination and how to stop it from happening. Reading How we procrastinate was quite interesting. It also has tips on how to help stop procrastinating and why we procrastinate.

Hpwever, I found this article the most useful and I actually got a fair bit of my assignment done from doing some of those tips. I suggest you all have a read 🙂

Hope it helps!

Past experience of ICT in HPE

Until researching Assignments integrating ICT for Health and Physical Education I didn’t realise how scarce ICT was in primary HPE. After reading Kirby’s blog post I completely forgot about how in senior Physical Education we had to complete an assignment on biomechanics in volleyball. We had to analyse our own volleyball serve and compare it to a professional volleyballer using a computer program.We had someone film our volleyball serve and we had to slow it right down using the program and find a professional and slow theirs down to the same point as ours.

This has really helped me with assignment 2 and creating an assessment task and designing a 3-5 week unit plan. As in the past I have found it quite difficult relating most of my subjects back to HPE this was quite helpful in my path to becoming a HPE teacher.

Back at it

After submitting all 3 assignments before Easter break I decided to have a well earned two week break. Much like Mrs. H I went camping for 3 nights and had no television, phones, iPads, computers just a simple camp fire and people to talk to. The time without ICT was great! After reading Going a Day Without My Phone Changed Everything I realised it wasn’t actually that hard and I found myself going to bed earlier as I didn’t have anything to look at and actually enjoying the moments rather than everyone talking photos of everything.

However, once we did get into where there was phone reception I had missed 13 calls and 7 messages from work, family, friends and university. Which is actually quite stressful to listen to all the  messages and trying to call work and organise things and catch up with family all over again. It took me at least a good 3 days before I finally got back to everyone!!

But it was a great and well deserved break. Hope everyone stayed safe and had a happy Easter 🐰🐰
