• In Event: Roundtables Thur2
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Thur2

Short Description

We will describe the creation and management of Fitwizard.org. This grant-funded project involved creating three online courses for teachers about the importance of children being active during the school day. The site also contains a database of instructional activities submitted by teachers and health experts, searchable by subject, grade level, exercise intensity, and other variables. We will share the tools and expertise needed to design manage, and sustain this instructional resource.
