NFL Football Hall of Fame
On October 21, 2009, Andy Wise took his Sports Marketing class to the NFL Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. The students learned about careers in the NFL. This is the 3rd year that Andy has taken his students to visit Jerry Csaki, the Educational Director at the NFL Hall of Fame. Each year, thousands of students physically tour the museum. The Hall of Fame offers distance learning programs to schools nationwide who cannot easily drive to their location. The HOF supplements the videoconferencing event with pre and post classroom activities that are aligned the national standards of education.
The “Careers in the NFL” program examined the importance of education and the hundreds of careers available in and around the National Football League. A 15-minute careers video which examined a wide variety of careers with the Pittsburgh Steelers organization was shown during this session. The 50-minute program was designed to be highly interactive. Once again, all his students thoroughly enjoyed the event!
