Thinkfinity.Org: An Effective Web-Based Differentiated Instructional Resource Tool for Health/Physical Education Teacher's Use in Health Class

As Physical Education/Health teachers, how many times do we rack our brains trying to find innovative and creative ways to keep our health students on task in the classroom? Those who work with middle school students know they are the first to tell us worksheets, power point presentations, and even health videos become boring day after day! In this day and age of computers, gadgets, and gizmos, technology can be the answer to discipline problems and large class size in the health classroom. Thinkfinity.org offers a wealth of free and innovative lesson plans, classroom ideas, and interactive games for teachers, parents, and instructors in all subjects and is sponsored by the Verizon Foundation. They share this information as a free online educational service to the world. Who is your favorite athlete? What is your favorite sport?

These questions engage and motivate students as they are participating in this research assignment.
