PE Apps
There are a lot more physical education apps out there then I was aware of. "The PE Geek" website explains the apps created by Jarrod Robinson, a physical education teacher from Australia. My favorite one was the 12 minute run. It is very similar to the Pacer test. You can customize your run by entering your age and gender. It is designed to inform your fitness level. It will also display the norms for your age and gender so you can be informed if you are not at your fitness level. The app can motivated students and even yourself to get or stay at the appropriate fitness level. Check it out! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/12minuterun/id440476864?mt=8

That is really cool. I really love learning about all of these apps we can use. I never planned on getting an Iphone or Ipad or anything until we used the Ipads in class. I just think they could be so useful in the P.E. class. I now am hoping to get one for my birthday next year. I may have to really pull on some heart strings haha.
