Why create this online resource?
There are three reasons for creating this online games binder; ease of access to resources, sharing ideas, and convenience.
Ease of Access:
Instead ofhaving carry around a bulky and heavy binder everyday to every class, this website can be accessed anywhere and anytime as long as is access the internet. Most classrooms and even some gymnasiums have computers in them or a teacher could use a tablet like the iPad or even a smart-phone to access this website.
Sharing:
Anyone, at anytime has access to these games and they are freely available for anyone to view. It would be possible for a Canadian teacher to share their games with an Australian teacher and vice versa. It gives someone who is at a loss for ideas the chance to view a library of activities and pick new activities for students to try.
Ease of Use:
Whereas the original paper version of the games binder will eventually deteriorate and get shoddy over time, this website will stand the test of time and can be modified with a few simple clicks. There is the possibility of collecting thousands of games and physical activity ideas and saving them digitally on this website for the duration of my lifetime.
