Aren't we all looking for resources to JUICE up
some of our lessons? .....Maybe you would just
like to try adding something new -
.....something different - .....something
fun As Health Physical Education
instructors, we know that students (and
teachers, too!) enjoy being active learners
In physical education classes

.....So, the question is, how can we bring more
activity-oriented lessons into our Health
classes? .....Or, how can we integrate
interactive technology into OUR classroom
curriculum? .....And what resources are out
there?

Don't we all wonder how today's technology and
the World Wide Web can add some POP to our
classes? .....Have you thought about using
computers MORE with your instructional
plans? .....Have your administrators encouraged
more technology integration in ALL curricular
areas? Sounds good - but, who has the TIME
to find useful resources? .....So, you teach 6
periods a day in a 7 period schedule? .....Barel
y have time to catch your breath in between
classes?

This program will hopefully provide and
share 1) justification for interactive
resources (in case you want/need more - some? -
computers or computer time in the lab), 2)
ideas and activities for integrating
technology, and 3) numerous sites resources
on the web that can be accessed for use in your
classrooms next week! (Or, you can give
yourself some time, and shoot for next semester!)

WHAT interactive resources do YOU KNOW OF on the
Internet? ...It's time for audience
participation - it's time to SHARE! WHAT
examples or resources has anyone used in his/her
classes? WHAT has anyone done using computers
/ the Internet that you would consider to have
an "interactive" component? WHAT has anyone
done to JUICE up a lesson or add POP to a class?

So, WHY / HOW can these types of resources be
so successful with students today? Our world vs.
world of students TODAY .....Just consider the
aspects of technology and instant feedback
Text-messaging/camera cell phones what
were YOUR phones like while growing up? MTV
how did YOU learn about the "new songs"
released while growing up? Play Station
what were YOUR "high tech" games while
growing up? Computers what were
YOUR "high tech" teaching tools while growing up?

Comments about learning styles from
Southeastern Oklahoma State University
(http//www.sosu.edu/cidt/briefs/tb1.htm) "...ap
propriate use of instructional technology can
even be fun.  For your students it can help
increase retention, make learning relevant, and
even enjoyable."
that students grow up with television, movies,
video, and video-games exacerbates the
situation

So, WHY can these types of resources be so
successful with students today? Research and
data from North Carolina State Univ., So.
Oklahoma State Univ., and the Univ. of Mich.
support that 67 of students learn best
actively - by doing something physical with the
information vs. doing the processing in their
heads (such as with lectures) 69 prefer the
visuals of charts, diagrams and pictures to
learn something new vs. delivery by the spoken
or written word (such as verbal-oriented lectures)

So, how do YOU think that interactive resources
be integrated into YOUR lessons and / or
assessments?
Lesson Supplements / Enrichment /
Research - single computer project on large
screen/wall for class - several computers
circuit or station learning centers - computer
lab computer per student Reviews - as a
class, small groups OR individual with
interactive games, cyber-tours, practice
quizzes, virtual labs Tutorials - in small
groups OR as individuals self-paced, visually
captivating, animated textbooks, illustrated
guides

• Statistics on learning
• from Univ. of Western Michigan
• We retain only 20 of what is heard,
• but retain 90 of what is said while doing!
• All this supports the Ancient Chinese proverb
• "Tell me and I will forget
• Show me and I may remember
• Involve me and I will understand."
