Promoting Active Learning with Fitbits | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"Wearable technology is becoming a part of our daily lives. I hardly take a step that is not counted on my Fitbit. This device not only motivates me to move more throughout the day, but it also helps me to be more aware of my health.  I monitor my heart rate and sleep patterns, much more than I did before I started using a Fitbit. I have recently been challenging my friends and colleagues to weekly challenges. This has increased my activity level even more.  All of this got me thinking about how to use wearable technologies, like a Fitbit, in the classroom.  Wearable devices promote active learning across curriculums."
