iPads in P.E.

iPads in P.E. classes?  I have always had reservations about bringing screens into a place where we want kids to move as much as possible.  But having an open-mind is important, right?

After talking with other P.E. teachers and doing some research, I believe this unlikely pairing could work.  Access to digital devices is easier than ever.  So let's put them to use to help us move more!

I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed. So I've created a classroom project request at DonorsChoose.org, an award-winning charity.

I'm asking for donations of any size to help my kids. Until November 16, any donation made to my project will be doubled by Anonymous Donor (up to $100).  To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the promo code CHEER on the payment screen.

If you know anyone who is passionate about education, please pass this along.  Donations will still be accepted after November 16.

Here's my classroom request:

Here is a video showing how iPads can be used in P.E. classes:

Let's have Sexton Mountain be a trail blazer and be one of the first Beaverton schools to use iPads effectively in P.E. classes!  If you have any questions, please let me know!
