Can this be true??? Has technology finally met up with Physical Education? The answer is a resounding "YES"!!! Technology has become an important part of daily life, and in order to keep up with the world and all of the technological advances, it is being integrated into all subject areas in our school. Technology will be a common thread running through all classes, and our students will benefit greatly from the consistency. Yes, technology has finally caught up with P.E.!
Your child will be using computers, cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, video equipment, and ipods during various activities. The students will be researching nutritional information, making team powerpoint presentations, geo-caching (treasure-hunting), going on photo scavenger hunts, etc... It should be a semester filled with fun and great learning opportunities for every interest!
For those of you concerned about the loss of time being physically active, not-to-worry! Our students will be just as active as they were in previous classes. All of the fore-mentioned activities that do not include movement will either be assigned as homework or will be used as a "rainy day" activity (When it is actually raining and/or the gym is unavailable). No more "Thumbs-up, Seven-up"... Our students will actually be doing something productive on those "down" days!
