Level of Technology in Observation Classroom

Level of Technology In Obserrvation Classroom:

-My cooperating teacher Mrs. Munson does have a computer in her office. She uses her computer to communicate quickly with me via email. I also know she uses her computer to organize her grades and uses excel to keep track of locker and student locker combinations. I do not know if Mrs. Munson had her hands on making the P.E. website but on the website they do have classroom information including the syllabus, P.E. mission statement, calendar of P.E. make up days, homework assignments, and information for parents to access.
-By looking at the syllabus it looks as though the students have to use some technological skills which include them using the web to find Health Journals and do a journal write up on it.

Technology Resources Teacher has access to:
-Standard computer ($1,000)
-Access to at least one printer ($200)
-Pedometer’s ($30)
-Digital camera (shared by the three teachers) ($499)

Some things that I feel could be added to classroom to provide additional access to technology:
-Heart Rate monitors
-Projector in the Gym to put on workout tapes (yoga, kickboxing, jazzercise, ext)
-Dance dance revolution game
-Have student have online journals for students to talk about their fitness and fitness goals.
-Have online fitness calendar that promotes family fitness.
-Have a classroom Blog discussing fitness struggles, tips, goals, and ideas to get moving.
