High School GYM GAMES

When the game has ended, and the spectators and athletes have gone home, a high school gym takes on a new appearance. There are singing maintenance workers, a site manager who wants to go home, helpful workers, and sometimes a reporter getting in the way. Over the last two nights I have had interesting experiences, encounters, and one story saving phone call. Every other Sunday afternoon for the past four months, at least two dozen pious Mojo acolytes have taken the pilgrimage to Krieg Softball Complex to pay homage to their venerable kickball icons. Their communion: coolers filled with Gatorade and baskets of bananas. Their sacred robes: the “chaser” belts worn by those players attempting to retrieve balls from fielders. Their apostles: three Mojo-appointed referees.This meeting includes the head coaches, directors of athletics and sports information directors from both schools. In addition, the SNCC game committee, game officials, 25-second clock operator, chain crew, clock operator, security, public address announcer, band directors for each team, television representatives from ESPN and NCAA representatives will be in attendance.

 

 

 
EDUCATIONAL GAMES FOR THE CLASSROOM
Eujust-themisl High School has been in a unique situation for as long as anyone can remember. MHN has never had its own gymnasium. When the high school was located in downtown Madison (this location is now Heritage High Apartments), the school used the city auditorium as its gym. Eventually a new high school was built in the mid 1970’s, but the gym was built without any seating. High school athletics then played its home games at the Dakota State University Fieldhouse, which was (and is still) a National Guard Armory.
As the games are dice-driven (chance), a weaker pupil can easily play with another (even adult) without continually losing, as in games where mathematical aptitude defines the winner. Also, the games take about 5-10 mins to play so are an easy 'filler' for those who have finished work early.

Sure, as educators, we long ago opened our computer time to remedial software and it has had some benefit. However, the digital natives are getting restless and have both the interest and the skills to engage in constructivist learning with computer games.Sells Music Notes Empire, that also teaches music history and notation.

If gaming is brought into the classroom, a key step will be to prepare teachers to integrate or feature the technology in the classroom, noted Halsell.Boys State Champions in 2007 and 2006. Boys state runner-up in 2001, 1983, and 1982. Girls state runner-up in 1981.
