2. Steps to Perfection

3. Some of the best basketball players in the world got to be so good because they practiced their shots everyday. Michael Jordan, Kevin Garnett, and Kobe Bryant all worked hard on the fundamentals of their shot to become such great scorers. Today we are going to learn and see some examples as to what you want to focus in on to become a good shooter.

4. Hold the ball with your shooting hand like a waiter holding a tray Elbow at 90 degree angle Knees bent Feet shoulder width apart

5. Roll ball off fingers to create backspin Flip wrist and wave goodbye Pretend your shooting over a telephone booth

6. Gooseneck finish Fingers pointing at shoes Freeze hand at the top of follow through

7. The Usefulness of PowerPoint As a future physical education teacher PowerPoint could be useful to me in a number of ways. First, it could assist me in the classroom when I am teaching new skills, for example, the lesson I just previously did on the basketball shot. PowerPoint can help me break down a skill in a way that is easily understood. It is also a good way to incorporate pictures and examples of skills for my visual learners to look at. PowerPoint may also help me as a teacher in open house situations. As I mingle with parents I can have a PowerPoint show going on about the basic expectations and curriculum of my class.

8. Instructional Implications of Students The students would probably not directly use this technology in my classroom. The only way that would happen is if they where assigned a skill to teach to the whole class, then I may require them to present their skill with PowerPoint (this would only be assigned to students in junior high and high school). Otherwise, the way the students are using the technology is by getting a good presentation from me and learning new skills in a nontraditional format. PowerPoint would be another way to present students with information, hopefully it would be less boring than a straight lecture.
