As we approach the holidays, I ask you to consider it a time to turn off the desk computer (yes, I actually wrote that) and literally move! This month I share a project with you which fellow educators and I created in an effort towards improving our health, while benefiting others along the way. Next issue we’ll look at the benefits of how fitness and
health relate to students’ academic performance, and how we can capture this data with wearable technologies!
As Mother Theresa once said: “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
My classmates and I live 971 miles apart but yet worked collaboratively using technologies online. Our goal was to empower others to get active, increase those endorphins, improve their performance and their lives! Synchronously, we worked “face-to-face” using Google Hangouts, Google Docs, Google Present, and Weebly. Our biggest find was actually discovered by one of my students. Twoodo is a Web 2.0 planning tool designed to organize teams with useful accountability measures. Since educators around the nation are using Twitter for Professional Development, hashtags are also a part of the ingenious components embedded within this tool.
So enjoy these important tools to engage your students. Ask me for guidance. Check out our final project and let us know how you’re MOVING over the
holidays!
Enjoy your break, wonderful teachers! http://runningwithapurpose.weebly.com/
