ImplementationStudents meet 30 minutes per week to work on tech presentation
Students do their workout for 20 minutes each P.E. class - then group activity
Students workout on their own when they do not have P.E.
Students record workout sessions on hard copy to be transferred to tech presentation
What Does it Look Like?
Pulling it Together
Conduct post-tests
Students are given 60 minutes of class time to complete and enhance tech presentation
Students put their tech projects in teacher drop box for grade
EVERY study can be
improved!
