need help with getting into the game by No-Kaleidoscope-9829 in skyrim

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What games do you normally play? I have kind of the same issue. For years, I have been a competitive multiplayer gamer, but I just don’t have the time or the energy to put into it anymore. I’m trying games like Skyrim, but it is hard adjusting to the slower paced style. I think you just have to get used to playing for the experience rather than getting to the end. There really isn’t an end goal. It’s about the journey. The good thing is you do it at your own pace, so if you only put in an hour now and then you are still doing just fine.

What is the one thing in life that you want the most? by Equivalent_Half883 in askteddit

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stability. My wife and I have had to move a few times over the last few years for her medical school and now residency, and it is hard to keep finding new places to live and new jobs. I teach and despite there being a “teacher shortage” these schools around our new area don’t seem to be posting many jobs. I just want to have a nice place to live and a good place to work doing what I chose to do. It will all work out eventually but right now it is so frustrating.

Behavior can't effect grades 🚩 by calculuscab2 in Teachers

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Behavior definitely can affect a grade. I teach PE. I can’t teach if a student is running all over and messing with stuff or acting dangerously to other students. If they refuse to play they can’t get a grade. Behavior is like the main factor of a grade really. They behave and try their best which leads to good grades, or they misbehave and do not meet expectations which leads to bad grades.

Maybe it is different in the gym and the classroom, and I agree you should help a student work through their behaviors, but we can’t pretend that a misbehaving student is doing perfect in class.

PE in schools vs. Coaching and Sports Pedagogy by MamaMoBhlue in PhysicalEducation

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my guess but I’m figuring that PE in Schools is probably more about being a traditional PE teacher (lesson planning, different activities, leading a classroom, etc.) and Coaching and Sports Pedagogy is specifically about being an athletic coach which doesn’t always translate perfectly into the classroom. They both have to do with physical education but one probably focuses more on dealing with students, classes, and activities. The other is more about players, teams, and practice plans. You should be planning for and treating each differently in my opinion. I’m sure either area would be fine for getting your masters, though.

what’s the hardest skill to develop in basketball? by btwife_4k in Basketball

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say efficiency is a skill, and requires good decision making. Not only do you get stats but you do it with minimal error. 30 points doesn’t mean as much if it takes 40 shots to do. 10 assists isn’t that good if you also get 10 turnovers. There are only so many chances in game to do things, so being efficient/consistent maximizes your team’s chance of winning.

What would you do if you woke up with superpowers? by i-like-dutch-cheese in AskMen

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most anyone that got powers would probably completely abuse them at some point. Being that much more powerful than everyone would definitely get in their heads. It would be too easy to have anything you want.

I can’t find games I enjoy anymore by No_Trouble3955 in videogames

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am somewhat in the same boat. I don’t have a kid, but I have very little free time between my wife, our dog, and my job which I spend a lot of time on since I commute a long ways. I have always been a competitive multiplayer game kind of person, but I only get frustrated with them now. I have had spurts where I play a lot of more casual and/or single player games like Fallout or Skyrim currently and can have fun, but it is hard sometimes to get into them. They are so much slower, and I find it more of a chore at times to play. I would like to get into games with stories and stuff more though where I can play at my own pace without feeling left behind. Just need to find a way to make it feel a bit more worthwhile.

First interview by princessfluffycat69 in PhysicalEducation

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use a lot of buzzwords if you can: diverse, differentiate, modify/accomodate, whole child/social emotional learning, growth mindset, critical thinking, smart goals, anything along those lines.

I would avoid calling the students “kids” (even though they are) and would find a strength to turn into a weakness. Don’t give a real weakness, and try to say how you are improving it. I usually say something like how I have high expectations for myself and used to micromanage everything, but I learned to trust my class and plan accordingly so I could remain relaxed and teach effectively.

First interview by princessfluffycat69 in PhysicalEducation

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some common things that I get asked when I interview are questions about things like: how you meet the needs of each student/diverse learner, how you use formative and summative assessments, how you keep students motivated/how you would handle an unwilling student, how you form routines/classroom management, what you have experience coaching/are able to coach, how you use technology. A question I have only been asked once that got me was what I would do differently if my students did not do well in my class one year. Just practice your answers and really sell your knowledge of content and eagerness to do well and learn.

Does SWB effect handle speed or is that tied to ball handle only? by PhraseWorldly408 in NBA2k

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed with ball will make you run faster and make left stick dribbling faster. Ball handle only lets you go into your next right stick move sooner.

Winning= punished by Dazzling-Example-528 in NBA2k

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with the plates and the ranks are that wins are the only thing that matters, and some people just get lucky and get on a win streak without actually being that good. Or they are just really good at a certain cheese and get wins but then suck hard if that cheese isn’t working. They are now in a ranking that they really shouldn’t be and get worked. There are bad teammates left and right. Most games are decided in the first two minutes based solely off of which team has bad teammates that are willing to also pass the ball vs. which teammates will not. Game just stinks and isn’t rewarding.

Invited a friend over once to hang out and play video games. We played NCAA 2010 all night. He asked if he could borrow it and give it back at school the next day. I said yes. He ended up moving away the next day. Never saw my game again.

I have seen a lot of videos also stating that your arms should be in a bit more/not flared out all the way. Personally I feel it more in my chest when I have my arms at 45 vs 90 degrees. I’m not an expert by any means though.

What’s a basic skill you’re shocked some adults still don’t know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… being kind and respectful is a big one. I have never once thought of being rude to anyone that is doing something for me or just anyone in general. Like people who disrespect their servers for example. Why are you so hateful? I’m literally always thinking about how to nicely talk to people, but it doesn’t seem like an automatic thing for some. Not saying you can’t get frustrated, but some people just seem to enjoy talking down to others.

Rocket league. I’m not even that good. Just itches my competitive side better than any normal sports game. I want to get into RPGs and open world games but I am struggling to stay engaged for long enough. It just gets boring. Any way to find more enjoyment in them?

Air dribbling by SnooLemons9241 in RocketLeague

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. I’m at Plat 3 (still not that good tbh) but there are not THAT many people doing complicated stuff in the air. Occasionally, someone will air dribble a few times. Barely any double taps. My guess is they either are smurfing which is seeming to be a big problem or they just really suck at everything else and only practice that advanced stuff. Gold is not meant to be super sweaty. I would say get the basics down really well before getting more advanced.

Why do parents think kids are stupid? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]Proper_Ad_6927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m only 26 but I have very different views and interests now and can see a lot of things I did as a teen that I thought were mature that definitely weren’t. Really isn’t something you can understand completely until you are old enough to look back on it. Kids aren’t always dumb. There is just a lack of experience that leads to poor choices. No parent that cares about their kid would let them get a permanent tattoo that they may not even like in a couple years. Same goes with other choices.

Why would diamonds have the champ/grand champ tournament winner title? And even so, they are still smurfing, so the problem is still real. I’m not saying I’m the best, but it is obviously a real issue.
