Ross Wicken is a trainee PE at Loughborough Univeristy. His blog is full of usefull information and insight. His post World Class Physical Education is about how he is constantly trying to better himself by looking for new strategies to help him to his job better. He discusses using a Pocket account to read articles shared by colleagues on the internet and he is a firm believer in sharing what he discovers. Wicken also introduces his e-magazine "World Class PE" and his first issue will focus on what a "Great Lesson" consists of. For my comment, I introduced myself and complemented him on his desire to constantly search for new strategies. I also told him I enjoyed his first and second issues and looked forward to future issues.

Ross Wickens post Loughborough University #PHYSED Teacher Education Conference details way technology can be used to enhance teacher training. The post talks about how high the percentage of 11-18 years old with a handheld device. If 84-85% of that age range already has a phone or tablet then it is only reasonable to assume that in the future the percentage will be higher. He also introduces the Dropbox Applicaiton as a way to easily share informtaion. He also mentions twitter and blogging as a great resource. The most innovative tool he mentions is Apps for the iPhone and Android. Time Motion and Easy Tag are the two he mentions for PE teachers. For my comment, I commended him on opening my eyes to the different ways technology can be used in a PE class. I also thanked him for introducing me to the Apps, Time Motion and Easy Tag.
