Grades: 4-6
All health classes put an emphasis on physical health of students. They also require for students to perform health tests to test student's endurance while comparing results amongst students. Kidnetic is a great site that merges phyiscal education together with technology. On this site students offers physical activities for students that requires a great deal of energy and it also provides students with health information that goes along with a health-based professional curriculum guide. This website would be of great use in health classes because in grades 4-6, students are not ready to sit in a classroom and receive a lecture about health and adequately take notes. As a teacher, I could use this site as the foundation of my instruction while actively engaging my students.
The advantages of this site is that it is absolutely free, it engages students physically and it provides a large amount of information pertaining to the overall health of human beings. The disadvantages of this site is that it requires a significant amount of space and there is no way for teachers to monitor their students' activities besides walking around and admiring.
