AFIT
is an amazing app for Physical Education and Health Teachers. This app allows
students to navigate their own health by closely keeping track of everything
they do and eat. Students learn about nutrition and physical activity while
encouraged to live a healthier lifestyle. This app gives clear
positive images of what a healthy plate should consist of; how many
glasses of water should be consumed, dairy intake, and proper amount of fruits.
This app allows Physical Education teachers to sample lesson of how to
implement healthy positive habits in Physical Education. This app is
great for monitoring student’s health and physical activity outside of the
classroom. Teachers are allowed to place each student in their class into
a list and follow the student as they log in their progress.
This is not a free
app, it cost $0.99. That is a onetime fee no subscription is needed, which is a
plus! This application is a necessity not only in the physical education
classrooms, but for athletes involved in sports. I give this app a 5 out
of 5 because I think it is an awesome way for both the teacher and student to
foster a healthier lifestyle. The fact that this is all monitored through
an app makes it super convenient for both the teacher and student. The
only limitation I see with this app is that students may feel the need to be
dishonest because they know that the teacher is able to see what their progress
is.
Anita, this app seems like it would be a great help for students who want to stay healthy. Not only does it log their activity but it also helps them with their nutrition and staying hydrated. It covers all the bases. Life can be hectic and having this app would help students keep fitness on their minds instead of pushing it to the side and forgetting about staying healthy. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and very true Paige. With everything so busy sometimes people, even students can forget or overlook the importance of healthy eating habits. With the advancements of technology and apps such as this one it makes it a little more manageable.
