Tech Edge is an extremely useful resource used in all education grades. This is a great way for teachers to promote technology and get their students used to using resources outside of the typical textbook. When searching, I was absolutely shocked by how much information each podcast provided. It also took me for a surprise when seeing all of the different topics provided. You can pretty much find anything of your interest. I have an apple watch and as a future teacher I was curious on how I could utilize the watch in a classroom, specifically a P.E. setting.
The first app I decided to use is the "Timer" app. This app is pretty self explanatory but being in a gym setting this can be valuable. This can be used when timing students workout, complete an exercise or a game. Every physical education teacher should have a watch and this app makes timing extremely simple and easy. The convenience of it being straight from your smart watch is extremely accessible and simple! I can definitely picture myself using this app in the future straight from my apple watch.
The second app I decided to utilize is the voice recording app. The voice recording app can be extremely useful in a P.E. setting as well. I can se myself using the voice recording app to take notes on students behavior. As I am walking around the gym I can picture myself talking into my watch to take "voice notes" that I might need for later on. This can be useful because we are not like normal classroom teachers who have a computer in front of them all of the time. I fully anticipate using this voice recording app in my future gym.

The last app I will use is one we are all familiar with, powerpoint! I do not see myself using this as much in P.E. but more so in health. I will be able to stand in the back of the classroom and switch slides straight from my watch so I do not need a clicker nor to be around my computer. This is something I think is really cool and easy. I will be able to control an entire presentation from the base of my watch.
