Educational Apps 1. FatSecret-I plan on using this app in my Body Shop class. It has a feature which is Exercise Diary where you can record the exercise that you do and the calories that are burned. It keeps a log on a calendar.

2. jLog Medical Videos – This is a good app for our physical education/athletic training class. It has videos of what happens inside the body when injuries happen. For example, a torn ACL. This is a good visual to show the students when I am explaining what happens and how to treat an injury.

3. GoMeals HD – I will use this in my Health class. As a class we go over calories and fat in fast food. Students will be able to give me a typical meal that is eaten at McDonalds and see the calories and fat that are consumed.

4. WebMD – This app will be used in Health. We go over many symptoms and diseases during our infectious and lifestyle diseases. We can quickly look up symptoms and conclude what the disease is as a class. I just need to get the projector and it will be perfect!

5. Six Pack App – I will use this in Body Shop for my own use to show students different exercises when we are working out. Rather than having sheets of paper I can scroll through different ab, chest, arms, legs etc. exercises with a demo attached.

6. Drug Facts – This would be used in middle school health class. It is a good app to use during the drug and alcohol unit. When students have all their work done and say they have nothing to do I would have them look at this app. It has different sections like peer pressure, role models and your future. Each section has a comic strip to read and look at also.

7. 101 yoga poses – This app will be used in Body Shop. Students will have to put together a yoga routine with proper transitions and this app will be useful for them to look at during work days in class when they needed poses to incorporate.

8. Yoga Stretch – This is another app that I will use in Body Shop for myself to teach different poses and for students to use when they develop their routines.

9. Personal Trainer Lite – This app will be used in Physical Education class. I will use the workouts on this app for my students. It has the option of starting beginner workouts, to intermediate, to advanced. It involves both cardio and weights in the workouts. There are also individual exercises that I can use for the students.

10. iBook – This app is for my personal use and for educational use. I carry a lot of reference books around for my health class so this will give me the option of storing books and info on iBooks. This will be used for my Health class. I all ready found a really good book called “The Handbook of Health” which helps me eliminate a lot of papers that I carry around in a folder.

Personal Apps 1. The Weather Channel – I like having this app when I am planning my day for P.E. and to look at the radar.

2. Facebook – I use this app to help stay connected with friends and family especially when I am busy teaching and coaching. I get to stay up to date with what is going on with my contacts.

3. BigOvenLite – I love this app especially when I need a new recipe. I love to cook and try new things so all I have to do is load the app rather than search the internet. There are over 17,000 recipes to choose from! It also has a tab for a recipe box to store my favorites.

4. iFishingHD – This app allows me to go fishing even when I can’t get out on the lake. It is one of my favorite hobbies and on this app I can chose the lake, lure and move my boat and get into tournaments to unlock new lakes.

5. Pandora – When I get sick of listening to the music that I have downloaded on my iPad I can listen to Pandora radio. I can pick different channels and pick artists that I want to listen to. After I pick an artist, Pandora will try and match other artists that I may like based off of my initial one.
