Funded Mar 8, 2017You have helped make a change in these students lives. We all see and use technology but very rarely is it used in Physical Education. Using the Pedometers gives students the ability to track and monitor their current activity level. It gets students excited to know the data for 40 minutes that they spend with me.
The new product excites students because they have options. If they choose not to do a certain activity they can still get points by "stepping up " to the challenge. Some students are competitive and want to meet a goal for one class period and try to break that in a different class period the following day.
Students who are having a difficult day or do not seem motivated by the current unit can find themselves occupied by just walking. The key here is giving students another option for PE. I have had a lot of students become excited over the idea of having two activities to do at all times.”
