Helene’s Approach & Insights
Helene shared her philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in her program. Here’s what she had to say:
Goals & Mission
“My goal when working with PETE students is to show them best practices for when they go out and have their own students. In this day and age, they all must be equipped to use technology in their gyms, and PLT4M has been a dream for this!”
How I Use PLT4M
“I have our students create accounts and then use it with them how they would use it with their future students. I show them what I am seeing on my end so they see the standards, etc., and can know what’s available on the teacher side.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is the one reliable place to find lessons, ideas, videos, etc. on everything and anything you are teaching in PE!”
Impact on My Program
“PLT4M is allowing us to hit our objectives with technology for our PETE students.”
