Salbador GonzalezGreetings all,
I'm Salbador Preciado Gonzalez, an Adapted Physical Education teacher for LAUSD. I have been in the education field for the past 10 years from teacher assistant, associate teacher, substitute teacher and a full time teacher for the past two years.
Salbador GonzalezHello fellow educators,
I am an Adapted Physical Education teacher with experience in working at the charter, non-public school, and public school setting with students with and without disabilities ranging form 3-22 years old. Physical Education and Adapted Physical Education is my expertise. Worked half a year as a behavior therapist and tutor. I'm currently in my 2nd year working full time for LAUSD as an Adapted Physical Education teacher. I enjoyed the Spring 2019 East Asia: Origins to 1800 class and I'm ready to keep on learning more about the asian culture and history.
Salbador GonzalezThe one slide that caught my attention during Professor Yan's lecture was regarding familism. He mentions familism beign perceived as the obstacle to modernization in modern China. He mentions familism being "the challenge in modernizing China in the turn of the 20th century", therefore leading to a family revolution where "individuals are mobilizing from their respective familial groups" "into citizens who can be organized for public interest and political goals. "
These quotes are an example of what families are nowadays in general due to the change of life where people are more involved with friends and coworkers than family. A family revolution is what has been happening in the US and probably soon to be in China.
Salbador GonzalezToday's Lecture regarding Ban Zhao made me rethink of the way women have been percieved in China. I've always had a great respect of Asian cultures due to my experiences with them, but after listening to Professor Yan talk about what Ban Zhao had to go through to be who she is perceived as in the movie, Crazy Rich Asians, I respect women from Asia more than I already had. Ban Zhao's story was what intrigued me in this lecture that I had to go watch Crazy Rich Asians again.
Salbador GonzalezHello everybody,
I am Salbador Preciado Gonzalez, an Adapted Physical Education(APE) teacher for LAUSD. The 2019-20 school year will be my second year as an APE teacher for LAUSD. I have worked in the Physical Education field for the past 9 years during the K-12 grade levels as well as in a Career Preparatory Transitional Center. I have taken the East Asia: Origins to 1800 during the Spring. I enjoyed the eye opening sessions and reflections, movie reviews, and the lesson planning. I have enjoyed the reflection on the world that East Asia has given me, especially after taking an East Asia seminar. Ready to learn about the gender and generations in East Asia!
Salbador GonzalezYour questions brought to mind questions about my students preferring one sport over the other and sometimes being disrespectful towards other sports. For example, students playing soccer disliking students playing baseball? These questions you posted can be used to have them reflect on why is it that you are not respecting your differences. I will bring this situation of native people not being treated with respect in the world as to have them see their situation through a different lens.
Salbador GonzalezGreat questions to have students to reflect on. I will use the same questions but not relate them to life, but rather have them research and reflect on sport philosophies from different sports in different countries as each country has their own style of play based on their strengths. I would create a handout for them to fill out in order to give them the opportunity to express their philosophy in regards to playing an specific sport or game.
Salbador GonzalezThe dispute over the sea between Japan and Korea was interesting indeed. I was surpised to hear that they couldn't agree on an specific name in order to allow the rest of the world be able to have consistency for the future when referring to the japanese or korean sea.
NASA's map of North Korea made me wonder how would Africa look at night compared to South America or Europe, the neighboring continents. We do not think much about it, but this night picture of North Korea also makes me value the lights at night we in America have throughout the nation daily.
Salbador GonzalezIs the end of the rice age directly linked to the younger members preferring wheat products or is it that there is a new era where rice isn't seen too nutritious anymore. Rice was part of many asian communities but the world overall is tryng to get away from processed foods, carbs and more into lean fats and good carb grains such as quinoa, lentils, brown rice compared to white rice, which I assume the end of the rice age is more directly linked to. A new trend has been on eating more nutritious foods and not foods that will only keep you full for longer periods of time.
Salbador GonzalezGreat questions to ask in your class but also in my physical education class from a third party perspective. My class can use these questions in order to work on our sociological skills in order to understand and appreciate our teammates, classmates, and opponents in a game setting. I can also use these questions to talk about certain sport rivalries and how are rivalries created? Are they really rivalries or is it a term tv companies use to attract more fans to their broadcasts.
Salbador GonzalezHello Kim, your "Did you know?" fun fact about a state made me think about using it for my physical education classes in trying to find as a class solutions for certain problems in physical activity. The facts might be logical to some students but eye-opening to others as not all students experience the same amount of physical activity in their childhood years.
I can use this "Did You Know?" fun fact sheet to find solutions, facts about a sport or dance, game strategies, running form and maybe I can also present a skill or sport through a "Did You Know?" mentality.
Salbador GonzalezThis article only comes to show what might be of the future when there are more women than men in the world. I wonder why Korea has such a problem since I have read in the past that there are 7 times more women in the world nowadays. Is it a trend or issue Korea might keep on having in the future. If it is, what will be the culture and traditions of Korea as they keep on bringing more brides from neighboring countries. Is this a problem the rest of the world will have to face in the future as well or can the rest of the world learn from Korea and be prepared for the time that issue comes to life.
Salbador GonzalezThank you for sharing your opinion. Your opinion made me think about the possibility of female college graduates increasing throughout the future and the population of the world decreasing due to women nowadays prioritizing their careers over having many children, as was the trend many years ago. This also bring to mind what will be of men if they keep on allowing women to increase the ratio of women to men college graduates. Will men be led by female presidents, CEOs, owners and so on. Women leadership isn't a problem but men lacking ambition to succeed might be.
Salbador GonzalezI as well will try to do the same in trying to teach my students with special needs more about East Asia and the unclaimed links we have to East Asia. I will focus more about East Asian cultures through dances and sports as my specialization is Adapted Physical Education. Through this course I know I will learn about more East Asian cultural traditions to teach my students about, and therefore, hopefully have my students appreciate the effect East Asia has on our society.
Great fact in claiming we are connected to East Asia due to all the technological products sent from East Asia, and not just technology, but clothing, toys, shoes, and cars.
Salbador GonzalezPrior to this lecture, I knew China was overpopulated and that population control was in effect. What I had not known was that their efforts in reducing the amount of people would slow down drastically to the extent of not having enough people in the future to work and live in the jobs, fields and houses already in place. Let's hope this trend is leveled soon and that the rest of the world doesn't start such trends so we won't have to worry about trying to fill much needed in the workforce.
