Gregory Davis/PLP Fellow

Hello, my name is Greg Davis. I have the privilege of being associated with a fantastic group of people called the "Gigawatts". My own particular story is that I am one of the physical education instructors on the Douglass Campus. I started there September 1978 moving here from New York. I am married (1979) and we have two children both in college. My wife is a special education teacher and most recently is facilitating PPCD for the Douglass campus. I became very interesting in technology integration when I was down graded in my evaluation by my administrator because I had no technology involvement in my class. This was back in the early 90's. The administrator wanted more use of vhs machines etc. :/ I very quickly reminded him that the main thrust of my class is movement education :). So today I hold two master degrees M.Ed.,Technology Integration K-12( Lesley University 2004) M.Ed., Education Media Design and Technology (FullSail University 2009). Which got me interested and started with integrating across the **entire curriculum.** We now use ipods and mp3 players with individualize workouts for the students that have their own equipment. I created the workout with music they download the file to their device and use it in class or whenever. So what new tech ideas have you introduced into your content area? Post it to the forum.
