THIS APP REQUIRES A SEPARATE HARDWARE PURCHASE FOR THE APP TO FUNCTION.
The Heart Zones Smart Hearts System app is designed for facilities and schools as a low cost, high data management system that seamlessly works with both individual students or the entire class of students. The Smart Hearts System uses the Apple-operating system (iOS) and runs on both the iPad and the iPad Mini.
Meeting digitally engaged elementary, middle and high school students where they are today is a challenge for many physical education and health teachers. There is competition with hard academics, not enough time for physical activity, time consuming grading, and the ever growing childhood obesity challenges. The Heart Zones Smart Hearts PE app is one way to address these challenges and introduce the new smart PE. Like any smart technology, Heart Zones Smart Hearts PE app uses smart devices and other technology that can result in behavioral changes - more movement in less time.
The Heart Zones Smarts Hearts PE app is one part of the four parts to the Smart Hearts system. The four parts are:
- Curriculum
- Professional development including workshops, seminars, and certificate-based education
- Group app -- Heart Zones PE app will accept thousands of students
- Individual app - Heart Zones Training app is your personal, individual iPhone app
Smart Hearts PE is a low cost, high data management system that works with your class, school and district. In addition, individual students, should they choose to do so, can download an individual app, Heart Zones Training app, to use outside of school time.
The Heart Zones Smart Hearts PE app serves as a low cost, high data management system working seamlessly with individual students as well as your entire class, school, or district requirements.
The Heart Zones Smart Hearts PE app stores and displays data using your iPad, Mini, or Apple TV serving as a data management system. This allows you to track, measure, monitor, save, store, and manage your students physical activity data. Smart PE uses mobile technologies to provide real-time feedback by displaying data such as heart rate, speed, distance, steps per minute (SPM), and revolutions per minute (RPM) as long as sensors for these data are on each class member, or on the equipment used. Students’ data can be displayed on a “Big Board” such as a large flat screen TV or on the wall, using a projector connected to the iPad device. Individual student tiles can show numbers, color gradients, and graphic data, which change continuously as students move.
If you want technology-enabled motivation and engagement for your students, the Smart Hearts PE app gives you the possibility of real-time fitness data that you can use for assessment. This should lead to increased quality (learning experiences) and quantity (exercise time) of your PE or after-school programs.
