Coach Cline at Westwind Elementary has found a way to use technology in the gym during PE class to allow both him and his students a better learning opportunity. Using a large computer, Coach Cline shows videos that model the correct way to do an exercise or stretch. Students are able to watch the video and learn the moves while he walks around the gym helping students perform the exercise correctly. 

One of the students’ favorite videos is the Avengers Tabata. This video has 20 seconds of a hard workout and 10 seconds of rest. The students said they like the challenges brought on in the videos and love having the coaches beside them working out with them. 

This new technique has given Coach Cline a chance to have personal interaction with each student in his gym and has strengthened the students' relationships with their coaches in PE.
