  1. Just like real life... you get out of it what you put in
    review by Kristin on 7/17/2016

    I am happy that my children have been able to take this course. The way it worked for them was like this: each week there would be a lesson day on a topic (ie. cardiovascular aspects of exercise), and then they kept a diary of sorts for their week of activity. The emphasis was on exploring various types of activities, and looking at how it felt to participate in them. By the end of the course they had a nice record of various activities with notes on how much they liked them. This can be something they use going forward through life as they put together plans to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.

To use this course, you'll need a computer with an Internet connection.  Some courses require additional free software programs, which you can download from the Internet.
