Dekeon's physical education page: Technology In The Gymnasium

At Northside school we use all kinds of technology to help us learn about our bodies and how we are impacted by fitness.

Fifth grade students are entering fitness scores into their portfolio. Each student is responsible for recording and tracking their own scores that varies from fitness to the number of steps and distance their pedometer recorded. The fifth grade also write short papers and essays about what they can do to improve the five components we practice in physical education, Muscle Strength, Muscle endurance,Flexibility, Aerobic Endurance, and Body Composition.

There are many different activities that the students do to help them understand their body. How it works and the different ways they can keep their body healthy and strong.
The first, second and third grade all work on the computer and play several programs that help them figure out healthy choices from those that may not be so healthy.

We also ALL learn how to use a stopwatch. Our stopwatches are simple to use just a start, stop and reset button. With the stop watches we learn many things, such as time, seconds, minutes and we use them to learn how to challenge ourselves and friends in different ways.

New world's record!
