Response to "PE Goes High Tech"

This blog was extremely beneficial to me.  As a PE teacher I find it so hard to accommodate technology into physical education, especially when I don't have the resources.  I was given an ipad this year but rarely ever use it even though it is full of PE apps.  Instead I carry around my pencil and grade book and then input scores and times by hand into the computer. This article offered me insight into two apps worth downloading.  Teacherpal is basically a spreadsheet that can help keep track of student growth and I am able to then export, import and backup the data all year long. The other handy app, Daily Fit Log lets the teacher track specific fitness information like times, laps, etc. It is great for goal setting. I have recently downloaded both apps on my ipad and will be looking into them and taking them for trial run later on this month. Another huge benefit of Daily Fit Log is that students can log in and find their information from any computer and the information should carry over year after year.
