Through
designed movement activities, HR monitors will be incorporated into each
activity, students HR will be logged by their iPads to the smartboard, and then
final discussions will take place based off the results of the lesson. After
warm-ups and an implemented activity, students will log their heart rate by reading the HR
monitor or manually (if I didn't’t
have enough monitors) into their iPad which will be transmitted to the
Smartboard. By using the iPad to smartboard method, I will be able to see what results the students are getting, what HR
changes are happening, and many other options related to assessing the lesson.
I would love to hear some different ideas to how I could integrate technology into this lesson while still using HR monitors?
The use of heart rate monitors sounds really cool! I never have done anything like that in gym classes. Have you ever used these in any of your placements? Do students respond well? In regards to technology ideas, you could maybe have students make a "paper slide" or "tutorial video" informing future students or other people about how to use HR monitors and the benefits of them?
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a really cool idea! Maybe after having the results transferring onto the iPad, students could use Excel or some other graphing/chart program to chart or graph their results? Compare males/females, those who play sports/those who don't, or try to vary the strenuousness of different activities, etc.
ReplyDeleteI also like Ian's idea of making a tutorial video of students explaining HR.
I mean I liked Courtney's idea :p
DeleteI'm not sure how you could additionally incorporate technology into the lesson plan but you could possibly incorporate technology into your student's feedback of the lesson or an exit slip by asking them to use what they've learned about how HR changes based on activity and match the best rate for the given activity. You could also incorporate a Tic-Tac-Toe board with options on how they can reflect on what they have learned that allow for different uses of technology. I hope these help!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ian, in that I have not seen any use of heart rate monitors at my placement. In elementary school, we have so many students per day that to get each of them to put on the equipment, use this equipment, and wash the equipment for the next class would take waaaay too long. I love the use of the smart board! Having students be able to compare their heart rates to their classmates can really put things into perspective. Maybe they have a much higher heart rate than the class average. This can give them a message saying maybe they need to create some fitness goals and can even give you (as the teacher) some benefits! You can see the fitness level of your students and from there create lesson plans that reflect the needs of your students.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making students so young aware of their bodies and health. I feel like this is not emphasized enough throughout our years in PE classes. I really like the idea of using a smartboard to project results as well as the previous comments about graphing and creating tutorials for future students. Students could keep track of their data throughout the year if possible and if the technology is available, though Hannah is right about getting a large group of kids to put on, use, and clean equipment is tough!
ReplyDeleteHonestly these are great ideas, thanks for the feedback!!! I have noted all of the insight you all have had for me to use in my classroom. Awesome ideas!!
