Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Posting Sem 2_Pre

One of the most important things in life is having a good education. From the time you are a small child to the time you are an adult you have some sort of education traveling with you. Everything you learn in life is going to help you down the road no doubt. Sometimes there are classes that you find may never help you in the future, and others you feel will help you thrive in the near future or long term down the road. In most kids, they find gym to be their favorite class, it is for me that's for sure.
       Mr. Vaccaro, is a gym teacher at the Wood-Ridge Jr./Sr. High School. He teaches physical education, driver's education, and health. He is very friendly, nonchalant teacher and personally one of my favorite teachers. He also has been married and has a kid, he was formerly a personal trainer and since coming to the school he has been the coach of the track and field team. When I first started gym class with Mr. Vaccaro I expected to learn the proper way to do certain workouts, such as working out my triceps and biceps. Up to this date I have learned the correct rules of many sports, learned where to workout and how to workout that muscle, and how to enjoy the time I have in gym class. The grading policy for his gym class is 40% performance based, 40% informal assessments, and 20% formal assessments.
         Some interesting features about Mr. Vaccaro's class are that he is usually lenient, but if you do something inappropriate or wrong he will get on your case. Mr. Vaccaro's class doesn't usually go on field trips, however when you are in his class you are having fun the whole time. I like running the mile around the track because it builds cardio and endurance that your body stores for future references. Some technology that is used in class is how to correctly work a machine or use certain exercises for the right reasons. Mr. Vaccaro's class is a great experience and I enjoy it a lot!
