iPads in PE

by Jon Cowper

Apr 25, 2014

I teach PE in Covina, Ca at Charter Oak H.S. We want to get iPads for our classes. What uses are they good for as far as our administration is concerned? I know they are used for record storing, lesson development. What other ideas are out there? Thanks.

I WAS JUST HIRED FOR A PE POSITION AND HAVE BEEN ASKED TO WRITE A NEW CURRICULUM. ADMINISTRATION SAYS THEY WANT TO SEE INTENSE FITNESS AND MUCH LESS SPORTS.

GRADING POLICY

by Louis

Aug 10, 2014

Need to come up with a grading policy for middle school physical education. It must include behavior, attendance, being prepared, and participation. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind, administration does not want any student to fail for being unprepared (not changing, etc.) Need some help. Thank you!!!
