Mini Conference

On Friday October 10th I attended the mini conference held by SUNY Cortland. I am in APEM which is the physical education club and I was in charge of the food for the conference. In the introduction session my EDU 255 class was the group that started an instant activity and got everyone moving around. For this we did mix, mix, mingle, mingle. I then attended a session on how to spice up your warm-ups. This was a fun session that pretty much gave you ideas on how to make fun warm-ups and instant activities for your students. I then attended a session on heart rate monitors. This session was interesting but not my favorite because it was more like a lecture. I like to be moving around and being active. Lastly I went to a cup stacking session. This was my favorite and the one that I wanted to go to the whole day. It is something that is fun and kids and adults of all ages can enjoy. During this session we were given a 5 day unit plan that I plan on using when I am teaching. I believe that this is something that many enjoy and can get them moving if you do different activities. Overall I enjoyed the conference very much!
