Tweet on Twitter!

Many people feel that the social networking is getting too out of hand. I feel that this may be true in some cases; people do not use it to the best of their advantage. Many people have a Twitter account that are not just teenagers in high school or in college. In fact, many professors within the Physical Education department have a Twitter account to keep students and fellow professors informed on certain things related to health and fitness. People from all different occupations use accounts like this to their advantage people anyone can see your information when it is on the internet and you can put yourself out there to possibly help your own career. When thinking about your future, make sure that you use social networking to benefit you!

Steelers Loss Against Raiders??

I have been a die hard Steeler fan since I can remember. This past game on Sunday was really heartbreaking. Normally it isn't our defense that we have to worry about but they did not pull through like I had hoped they would. The whole game was really intense with hits and not to mention the fumble by Antonio Brown. Was it the dirt from the baseball field throwing them off? I feel like they just are not ready for this season. They need to fix a lot of things before they plan on facing team a lot better than the Raiders.

Ebooks Compared to Regular Text Books

Some people say that regular textbooks are the way to go. Recently, I purchased an Ebook for one of my classes. It is a lot cheaper and easier to keep on hand. The only down fall to buying Ebooks is that you cannot return them. If the books you need are geared towards your major and you plan on keeping them, I would highly recommend and Ebook because they are cheaper and you can load them onto anything like your laptop, iPad, or smart phone. It is a very easy way to keep books on hand without all of the weight. As you progress throughout your major, the books you will need for your major are going to be very important even after you graduate, when you get a job. Look into Ebooks, they are great!

Play 60

Everyone who is involved in the health and physical education aspect of their profession, knows that children are becoming less active as time goes on. There needs to be more way to get children active. Knowing that physical education program are being cut all over the country is a wake up call that we need something outside of schools to help us reduce this obesity epidemic we have in our hands. What is a better way than involving the NFL? By involving the NFL, younger children would like to be more involved because they look up to professional athletes. If children know Hines Ward is eating fruits and vegetables, they will want to eat fruits and vegetables. It will encourage children to play outside rather than stay inside and play video games. We need more people to get involved in helping younger generations to live a healthy lifestyle to reduce many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Play 60 is the best program we have right now in order to get children active and we need more people within communities to help!

iPads Could Save Your Life!

When thinking about the future, it is very scary. There is so much technology and it is only getting bigger and better. In my major of Health and Physical Education, the iPad can be very useful rather your regular desktop computer. They are portable and there is an app for just about everything from, lesson plans to attendance sheets. With my minor being Sports Management, the iPad is also very useful. Ranging from being an athletic director to a general manager of a team or even a public relations director, there will always be an app to help you out. I encourage everyone who is going out into the business world to purchase an iPad. Eventually there will be a better one, but no matter what they will help  you out tremendously especially when your on the go. TEAM IPAD!!
