How to Look Thinner Instantly

I was looking on WebMD.com the other day and I read something that I found really interesting. There is a way to look up to 10 pounds thinner, have your clothes fit better, and increase your confidence. These things can occur if you pay attention to an often neglected area of body conditioning, your posture. This doesn't seem to awful hard does it? I know I could work on my posture especially now if I can lose up to 10 pounds! Personal trainer, Sue Flemings says, "when your body is in alignment, your head is sitting squarely on your shoulders, and your shoulders are pulled back with your core muscles pulled in, you not only increase your height and stretch out your body mass, making you look thinner, but you're also projecting an image of confidence, of being more alert, and more youthful -- all of which makes you look more attractive." Also, having a better posture may get rid of tension headaches and lower back pain as well.

Assessing Student Learning

Today in Technology class we learned on ways to Assess Student Learning. A quality physical education program provides meaningful learning experiences for all students. Physical Education teachers assess student learning, analyze assessment data, and use the assessment analysis to plan future learning experiences. Technology is an advantage for physical educators that assist on how to assess performances, create projects, and maintain portfolios. I feel that information on how to assess student learning and other topics regarding helpful information associated with my major, will most definately benefit me as I further my education and future career in Health & Physical Education.

Missing Spring Break

I don't know about anyone else, but I miss Spring Break in the Bahamas and Florida. After being off 12 days, it was hard for me to get back into the swing of things here at school. This week started slow, but picked up as soon as Wednesday came along. I just keep thinking only 5 more weeks of school to go, then summer is here!! I think the rest of this semester is going to fly by because so far time has been flying.

Computer Assisted Instructional Software

Today in Technology class we learned about computer assisted instructional software. Instructional software enhances the learning process by setting up a direct interaction between the student and computer. There are more than 30 research studies that have found that the average learning time is reduced to 50% of the students who use multimedia instructional programs. Students show greater motivation and enjoyment, actively involved and the attention is focused. The multimedia programs can be used for full class presentations, small-group tutorials, and student projects. Just think how much farther technology will become in the next ten years with programs like these.

Bad Weather in Cleveland, Ohio

Saturday, March 8, 2008 Cleveland, Ohio got hit with a blizzard. The high speed of the wind and the amount of snow fall made driving a horrible task. Downtown Cleveland was such a disaster, that not even tow trucks were able to get cars unstuck off the side of the roads. There was a huge accident on a parkway which started with a one car sliding sideways not being able to stop, then another came along and hit that car, then a tractor-trailer couldn't stop and also wrecked into the other two cars. There was atleast an accumulation of 1 foot of snow on if not most then all the major roadways. This goes to show that spring and summer needs to come very quickly so lives are no longer in danger.

Website

As I finished my reference and related links pages for my website on Tuesday before I submitted it, I was excited for the project to be completely finished. Right after I submited my website I deleted all my pictures I used from my Z-drive. I figured since I was done using the pictures why keep them in my Z-drive and just take up space. Well, that was a bad idea on my part. Later that day when I went to open my website and all my pictures were gone! I found out that in order for those pictures to work on my website, the pictures needed to be in the Z-drive. While in class on Tuesday I had to find all the pictures I used in my website and save them all over again and then insert them onto my website. Now I know to keep everything I use in the Z-drive and not delete things.

Spring Break

I am really looking forward to Spring Break this year because I am going on a cruise to the Bahamas! I have never been on a cruise so this will be an awesome experience. I'm getting very anxious for the cruise, but these two days of classes are a tease! I wish we could have had these two days off instead of having to stay here for two days and then go back home. I'm hoping that these last two days go by quickly!

Weather

This past Friday at 11A.M. I was on my back home to Lower Burrell, PA and snow flurries began. The roads were clear and almost dry the whole way home from SRU. As soon as I reached home, the flurries turned into heavy wet snow. After 3 1/2 hours of the heavy snow fall, there were atleast 4 inches of snow. The snow continued to fall until about 7 P.M. and then it started to rain on top of the snow. While at work, my customers told me that traffic on route 356 and route 28 was backed up for atleast 2 hours or more. Along with traffic backed up, there was an ample amount of recks as well. I was happy to know I was inside all night while the weather outside was horrible!
