Using the Virtual Gym for Practice and Drills
Fiorentino, Leah Holland; Gibbone, Anne
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v16 n5 p14-16 Sep 2005
Enthusiastic elementary physical educators continually investigate effective ways to encourage students to engage in more physical activity. The most effective teachers look for interesting strategies and innovations that engage learners of all ability levels. A new innovation, the "Virtual Gym," addresses physical educators' concerns about providing age-appropriate practice by simulating game play situations. In this article, the authors discuss the benefits of using "Virtual Gym" and the feedback of students and teachers on using this technology.
