| Data Drives Decisions in Physical Education |
| The childhood obesity crisis is spurring a fundamental shift in how we teach physical education. The data that physical education technology provides us is leveling the playing field for students of all fitness levels. Without assessment technology in physical education we do not have evidence to support decisions that can improve physical education in our country. Without objective feedback, we have no hope of teaching the importance of lifetime fitness to our students. Attend this session to gain knowledge of existing technology and best practices for physical education, and help fight the battle against childhood obesity. |
