Mr. Robbo, The PE Geek "Reclaiming Physical Activity Time"

Jarrod Robinson is a PE teacher in Victoria, Australia. He has been trained to be a technology teacher, so he incorporates technology in his PE course. His latest interest is teaching the required "book work" aspect of the classroom online. His major decision to do so is based on the fact that it will free up class time for the instructional, hands on activities.

I really like this idea. He stated the children can access the links to their homework on their phones and personal computers. I think the students will enjoy this. I have subscribed to Mr. Robbo's RSS feed and plan to keep up to date with his new idea.

Mr. Robbo, The PE Geek "Make an app for your class"

In another attempt to save class time for physical activity, Mr. Robbo has created an Iphone app and an Android app. He stated the basic idea was for the students to be able to access the class content at anytime for the student. If a student is traveling to school for thirty minutes, he can quickly check his PE class on his phone.

Mr. Robbo thinks almost anyone can create an app because Iphone and Android have special software to make the process easy. To check out the app maker software for Iphone can can click
