Elevating Physical Education through Technology

This grant funds wristwatch heart rate monitors for the physical education departments at Mamaroneck Avenue School and Hommocks Middle School. The technology will raise the assessment capability of the PE instructors to include not just cognitive and psychomotor assessments but fitness-based assessments as well, and will be an exciting and engaging curricular addition for technology-savvy students. The technology allows for immediate download to iPads via Bluetooth and enables both instructors and students themselves to set goals and track progress, helping to increase student enthusiasm for and adherence to fitness goals.

Grantees: Scott Gilberti, Scott Miele and Nick Mangan
