Technology Review
1. Research show a significant amount of children in the United States battle with obesity. I would like to learn more about the program "Sugar Stacks" it's a program that provides images of everyday food items with the grams of sugar contained in each one represented as a stack of sugar cubes. I feel this program is a great way to talk about sugar consumption with the students since it makes the word "grams" tangible for them. This technology program could be used for the health/ PE and math curriculum. http://www.sugarstacks.com/beverages.htm
The cons are eating healthy could be expenses. Children usually eat what their parents could afford. The working parent's families does a lot of dining out with kids indulging in unhealthy snacking after school.
The pros are you could have a better quality of life if you're aware of good vs bad sugars.
Educators could use this tool in math class to help with adding, subtraction and comparison. In health class, the learner would learn the benefits of good vs bad sugars and how much the body should consume daily.
2. BamVideo Delay- This program could be used for health/PE classes. Students could watch themselves perform any activity. The program accesses the camera on the Ipads to provide a pre-set video delay from zero to zero to two minutes. The instant replays are streamed through an Apple TV or a projector.

Pros- The program keeps the students engaged and could be used for a formative assessment.
Cons- Compatible with iPad but not iPad minis.
Educators could use this program in health/ PE classes for the learners to view recorded activity. The performer would have time to return to the screen to see if their skills in. The program becomes a handsfree feedback machine.
