Materials Generator

After reading about some of the available materials generators available to use in the classroom, I was  impressed and a little overwhelmed. I did not realize that they are broken down into so many categories.  I do not have my own classroom(gym) yet, but I saw a few of the generators that could be useful to me in the future. The first materials generator that caught my eye was the graphic document makers.  I could see myself using this one as a way to make awards and special recognitions for the students in my class as a reward for doing well in a certain sport or activity.  I could also use it to make flyers for fundraising efforts for whatever team I coach.  The second materials generator that I think would be useful to me is the worksheet and puzzle generator. I would much rather go out and play and teach an activity, but sometimes the weather does not cooperate or the students just become burned out.  Creating word puzzles and activities would be a great change of pace for them.  The third materials generator that interests me is the desktop publishing software.  I would be interested in using this software in order to allow my students to create something on their own.  For instance, if we are learning the game of golf, students could create a brochure or flyer describing the different clubs used or how the game is scored.  I think all three of these generators woul be a great asset to a Physical Education class.
