Fitness and technology were brought together in an original and engaging way recently by sixth graders at Greenview Middle School. Under the direction of
PE/Health teacher Kim Walden, each sixth-grade homeroom created a “This or That” workout using Google Slides. To start, each student selected two feature exercises such as planks, triceps dips, flutter kicks, bicycle crunches, and burpees, and using a camera on their computer or Chromebook, students filmed themselves performing both selected exercises. Students then converted the video clips into a GIF format and placed them on a slide that was incorporated into a larger Google Slide presentation featuring timed workouts for each exercise, as well as fun “This or That’ questions on a variety of topics. The students’ GIF workouts
can be viewed here. Great job, by all of our sixth graders!
