    EDU 355

    Hello!

    My name is Mr. Marciniak and I am currently a senior student at SUNY Cortland. I was born and raised in a small town know as East Aurora on the outskirts of Buffalo New York. I enjoy most to go golfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and also, work at my restaurant job as a waiter.

    In my past, I have had some experience with elementary aged children. Previously to SUNY Cortland, I attended Erie Community College in which I was assigned an internship with an Elementary School near my home town. During my internship, I observed/taught a few lessons at the elementary grade level. The majority of my time spent teaching/observing was tying the students sneakers! (foreshadowing for future teaching maybe???)

    I expect in EDU 355 to achieve a better basis on how to interact with the younger students. AKA teach on their level.

    Physical Education Apps!


    Here is a great website on some awesome apps that can be used for Physical Educators.
