The first day was very interesting. We mainly reflected on our experiences in Physical Education classes during our school years before post-secondary education.
I never really felt or considered that Physical Education was not really doing anything because I as a participant remember really enjoying all PE classes. However, I realized that it was because I was just naturally active person and I remembered how there were some of my classmates who just could not participate well in the activities in general. I think I remember this happened more often during high school years.
I think some of our discussion was around how we could implement better quality physical education to the public school system as a teacher. I think the main take away from our first session is the idea of providing a physical education so that the students learn to become physically literate people and promote healthy living.
Overall, it was a good introduction to the teaching of physical activities.
