I have enjoyed being ‘away’ from twitter et. al. during the bulk of summer vacation – but as soon as I made it back to civilization I hopped on #pegeeks to find out what I have been missing. Caught a #pechat, some great tweets and even some #pegeek awards. Then I went to Amazon and d’loaded a bunch of basketball instruction books….
Like many of my #pegeeks pln I wear many hats; P.E. teacher and coach are two prevalent ones. Although related – we all know they are not the same.
I often post re-tweets of sport/coaching information and am conflicted as to whether or not to add the #pegeek tag to it. I know a lot of you coach as well as teach P.E. and may find it useful – but more of you may not and it doesn’t quite fit the tag. As the #pegeeks tag has grown it’s authority on all things P.E. (sport ed. foundational movement skills, physical literacy) has increased – and I worry about cluttering the space with more ‘organized sport/team’ related topics.
On a related note – I am disappointed I haven’t found a ‘coach’ related #tag to follow that can as efficiently inform & motivate me as #pegeeks does for physical education.
So before I head up to the lake and out of range of wifi I started to think of what a good #tag would be for this situation; but couldn’t come up with one. ‘Coaching’ is such a broad term (life coaches etc…) that identifying one that could target the demographic I am looking for is elusive.
Anyway – thought those in my PLN might have some ideas (you are all pretty smart folks). Is it all right to post ‘organized sport coaching’ stuff under #pegeeks. Is there a #tag I am missing that could fit the bill. Is there a #tag waiting to be created – or do we follow enough tags already.
Please reply if you have any ideas – or just want to say ‘Hi”.
