Apps for Physical Education
The purpose of this page is to show the diversity of apps that can be used in physical education (links are to iPhone apps but you can find similar apps on other platforms). The apps are always changing but as long as you know the terminology you should be able to find similar apps that may work better for you. Additional lists:
You can also build your own apps for viewing and recording information with Glide Apps (uses Google Sheets). Technically the "app" you create is a webpage, but it looks and functions like an app. See the wide variety of apps we created (ie. attendance, grading, volunteer management, and much more) and these tutorials from Glide Apps. Once they add the feature to make copies, our apps will be available for free.
