Newsletters Subscription

Unit 6 task 4

In this entry I will talk about newsletters. But, what is a newsletter? It is a social media resource of a concrete field of expertision in which just a few people participate. It also has periodical publications, depending on the newsletter once a week or a month, and a person who moderates. The particularity of this resource is that just members or subscriptors receive the information periodically.

After this brief definition, I have subscribed to 2 differents newsletters referred to the field of the Physical Education & Health. 

The first one is PE Central. As I said in the previous entry of this blog, this website is a great place in which teachers and even parents share ideas and resources related with the physical education, activity and fitness. It also has accounts to follow in different social media networks, such as: facebook, twitter and pinterest. This newsletter is from USA, so its lessons and activities are based mainly in the american culture, but are easy adaptable.

The second is PELIKNS4U. This website with lots of different topics about physical activity, such as: adapted PE, coaching &sports, health & nutrition, PE for different education stages and so on.

From the second newsletter, I've chosen an article that I like called "Striving to be a Superhero Physical Education Teacher". You can see the article HERE. The article reflects on the abilities, aptitudes and actitudes that a great PE teacher should have, and it also relates these qualifications with the desirable standards established by the American National Authority.

In my opinion, the second newsletter has more quality and better topics related with the physical activity in every single stage of the Education system, so it is the most completed one of the two newsletters above-mentioned.
