    I really like this article, it talks about teachers who are using the ipads in the classroom, and how they are able to keep the kids on track and make sure the students are using the ipads the way they are meant to be, not goofing around on them.

    When I first started reading this article, I wasn't sure where it was going to lead me. However, I really enjoyed it. I never really thought about video games being used as a educational tool.It was a pretty interesting article!

    I was attracted to this article because i thought it was different and interesting. I never thought about using technology in physical education! very cool idea.

    I didn't really think video games could be used for a learning process. I think that is pretty neat.

    I love that technology has made education fun for students. Sometimes it is extremely hard to get a point across to a child, but by using resourceful tools such as play (physical education ) and video games that are fun and enjoyable, students are more likely to learn it and WANT to learn it. I really like this idea.

    I didn't know that special needs individuals have to work against their nature as they get older to engage in physical activity. I found that information to be very interesting and humbling. However, in regards to technology, I think it's awesome that students will be able to use video games for physical activity. It's a fun and successful way to engage the students.

    I never really thought that video games could be used for educational purposes. Especially, for physical activity. I think this article was very interesting to read. I like the idea!

    With this article I really do not agree with the concept. Gym and physical education to me are the only times children are able to become motivated and active in groups and individually. I do however like the idea of using it for children with disabilities because it gives them opportunities they never really before had. I would hate to see this be the next generation of gym class though for our regular education children as well.

    I love that special needs classes are incorporating this "active" technology into their daily routines. I do not think this technology would be an adequate replacement for physical education in regular classrooms, but I do think it can be used as a reward or "field trip" in the classroom. It is a safe and cheap way to get students moving.

    This article was very interesting. I think using this technology in a physical education classroom is a good idea. It not only promotes physical skills but academic skills also.

    I enjoyed this article and think using technology to get students moving is a great concept. Students who have special needs especially benefit from this technology and have fun while doing it.

    This article was very interesting, I think it is a great idea to help students who don't enjoy physical activity as much as they do games to be able to enjoy exercise.

    The idea of using programs to get the kids moving, and assist special needs development was interesting and fun.

    I am a special education major and we use technology in gym class all the time. We use the WII to play just dance as a warm up or on a "fun" day. It is so much fun to see kids participate in gym class when the wouldn't otherwise.

    I could not believe that reading this article, "More than one-third of U.S. adults (over 72 million people) and 17% of U.S. children are obese. Between 1980-2008, obesity rates doubled for adults and tripled for children." This is alarming! It is so crucial that we incorporate more physical activity with our students and their learning. It will not only keep their attention, but it will also help us as teachers keep them engaged and more focused. Enjoyed reading this article!

    I really like the idea of using games like the Wii for fitness but there is ways around all of it because it just requires the use of one hand. However there are other game systems out there that require your whole body to be interactive to score on the games. Is we are to use this great tool in the schools I feel that it should be one of those systems.

    I really like the thought of using fun games to get the gets active and moving and playing. I agree about the wii, there are games like the xbox kinec where they use the whole body and not just the hands with the controllers.
