iPad For Physical Education
Funded Mar 26, 2014It was a great surprise to get this project funded as it did not look very good few days before it was going to expire. My students love the possibilities that the iPad brings, we do Yoga, ab workouts, chest workouts learn about flexibility and the human body, nutrition, etc.
In class, we use different apps to learn and experience fitness and health. They have discovered how technology can be a very useful tool to stay in shape and healthy. The students also collaborated with a high school in Spain during the Ultimate unit. They created videos and sent them to the students in Madrid, so they could learn about the sport.
The use of technology is very motivating for my students. We even had the creators of one app come to our class and film how we were using it. They never thought about the educational aspect of the app when they created it.
In summary, the iPad makes teaching and learning better for both teacher and students,
Thank you so much for your contributions,”

IPOD for Physical Education
Funded Feb 6, 2011Thank you very much for making this project a reality. My students have been able to use technology in their Physical Education classes thanks to all of you. With the IPOD, we have produced videos that showed physical fitness tests. Also we have used some of the apps to enhance the learning of the body and how it responds to training.
In an inner city school like mine, the possibility to having equipment like this is very minimal. Thanks to your donations my students have been able to experience how technology can actually reinforce fitness and health.”
