Incorporating Technology into Physical Education

Funded Nov 19, 2013

Thank you for all of the generous donations in support of my project, Ipad in Physical Education. The students are so very excited that they are going to be able to be engaged in learning about Health and Physical Education in a new and innovative way. During physical education class the students will be using the ipad in a variety of ways.

In the lower grades the students will be using the Ipad to help them discover new information about various topics that are being taught. For example they may play a game where they have to learn about how to fight germs in our bodies. They will also learn about the parts of their bodies through interactive applications.

In the upper grades the students will use the Ipad to also discover new information about topics being taught. However they will be doing through more extensive and detailed applications. For example they will be using the Ipad to discover the various systems of the body and how they work.

Perhaps the most important use of the Ipad is to help all students input data in real time while they complete various tasks in class. The upper grade students will be doing this in December while completing the fitness testing components of the NYC Fitness gram. The students will be able to go onto the Fitness gram web page and enter their scores as they complete each of their specific tasks.

Thank you, all once again on behalf of the P.S. 133 family for all of your support in this project. I hope to be sharing terrific results because of this project very soon.

Sincerely,

Joshua Blatt
