Pinterest Final

Pinterest in the classroom- Pinterest can be used in the classroom in many different ways, it gives the teacher a way to find interesting games, activities, and informational ideas.  Students can use Pinterest to find ideas when working on projects, allows them to look up information to study for class, and can also be used for brainstorming.

The assignment that I created was about Healthy Fitness.  I decided to do my project over the 5 Health Components, because while looking on Pinterest I found a lot of information on sports, living healthy, and in another class we have recently gone over the Health Components.

The Healthy Fitness Project- This project allows students to learn about how important Cardio-Respiratory, Body Composition, Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strength, and Flexibility are to living a healthy life.  It will also allow students to learn how to check their own heart rate and while doing the assignment it gives all the students a chance for extra exercise.

My Lesson Plan

Step One- Students will get into groups of 3 and research the 5 Fitness Concepts and create a short Presentation on each of the five.

Step Two- Students will create a workout that focuses on Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, and Cardio-Respiratory.

Step Three- Students will Instant Heart Rate app and use it before, during, and after a workout and log it into a workout log.
