In my Physical Education and Health classes we will be using a variety of educational technologies that are safe, secure, and reliable. My goal is for students to feel empowered by using emerging technology that will enhance their health, fitness, and academic experience long after they have left my classroom. These technologies will serve as communication tools as well as learning tools. Listed below are some of the tools that we will use frequently this year:
- Weebly Websites
-Touchcast for creating green-screen videos
- Schoology is now replacing Edmodo & Google Classroom as of 2/15!
- Remind 101: I will use to text important reminders.
- Google Drive / Google Apps: A variety of tools for productivity
- Apps for smartphones, ipods, or that can be accessed on a computer
- RSS Feeds for news and research you can use
- Smore: Flyer presentation tool
