Students Get Fit With Online Learning
Yes, Larissa Young and her team miss hearing the squeak of sprinting students' sneakers on the gymnasium floor; they miss blowing their whistles and coaching classes to strive for new goals; and they miss seeing those smiling youngsters compete and have fun on the court. And yet, the CISB Physical & Health Education (PHE) team is treating the ongoing coronavirus campus lockdown like an obstacle course from one of their classes. Indeed, they’re successfully bounding over the considerable hurdle of not being in the gym with their classes, thanks to the latest technology, a spirited attitude and plenty of resilience.
的确，Larissa Young和她的同事们都很想念学生们在体育馆里跑步时的脚步声；想念他们为了达成新的目标而吹响的哨子声和进行的训练；想念学生们在操场上的欢声笑语。由于近期的疫情，学校无法开课，但是CISB的PHE团队却通过现今的科技手段，将体育课继续的延续下去。
In fact, PHE department head Larissa Young says she and her colleauges are "really impressed with the efforts of students during this time and their focus on their personal health and well-being.”
事实上，PHE团队的负责人Larissa Young和她的成员们为学生们近期的努力及对个人健康的关注都深有感触。
How are they making that happen? As Ms. Young puts it: "No matter their location, Bobcats have continued to remain active over the last few weeks through their Online Learning tasks in MYP PHE. Students from grades 6-10 have been tasked with activities such as following assigned workouts, creating workouts that are specific to their units, creating personal fitness programs, and creating dances."
他们是如何做到的？ 就如Ms. Young说到的：“无论学生们在什么地方，他们都在过去的几周内通过在线教学来完成他们的学习。6到10年级的学生PHE的课程内容包括，指定性训练，根据现阶段的学习单元所进行的创造性训练，个人训练计划及创意舞蹈。”
Those MYP students have also made videos of their workouts, so that their PHE teachers can offer feedback.
MYP的学生们将他们的训练拍成视频，这样PHE的老师们可以根据录像给与反馈。
Here are some examples of CISB students keeping fit and staying resilient through online learning:
下面是一些学生们课程展示：
What's more: the PHE team are using cutting edge communication platforms like Zoom to keep in touch across several time zones, all the while standardizing their summative assessments until our campus reopens.
除此之外，PHE团队运用最先进的在线平台 ZOOM来同学生们进行联系 ，在学校开学前来监督学生们的作业完成情况。
Grade 8, for instance, is creating a Dance for Change in their PHE class. Ms Young says "their Criterion A summative assessment for this unit was due this week, where they had to explain the issue they chose to represent in their dance and how it impacted them and the world." Aside from cutting that figurative rug, the students were also tasked with applying unit terminology and explaining the solutions represented in their dances that would solve the issues. Ms Young says the teachers then used Zoom to discuss the recently submitted summative assessments.
以8年级的课程为例，Ms. Young解释道“ 学生们的单元作业这周需要提交，他们需要阐述他们所选择的内容在舞蹈中如何影响他们自己及世界。” 除去学生们的舞蹈展示，他们还需要运用单元专业词汇及描述解决办法向我们展示如何解决问题。老师们会通过ZOOM平台及时同学生们讨论及回馈近期所提交的作业。
Such efforts have not only helped CISB students remain active, but also offered parents peace of mind. After all, many of those mothers and fathers have fretted about their children becoming overly sedentary while they learn from home. Take Ms Wei, a parent of a CISB MYP student, who explains: "Because we have to stay in the house as much as possible, children don't have many chances to run, jump or do other phycial excercises in an apartment. Aside from the space being limited, there is also a lack of motivation for children to exercise regularly.”
以上的这些方法不仅帮助学生们积极的学习课程，同时也让学生家长放心。已经有很多学生家长都对于孩子长期待在家中缺乏运动而表示担忧，就如MYP学生中的家长Ms. Wei来说：“ 现在这个时期，我们全家都尽可能待在家中不出门，孩子们没有机会去进行跑，跳或其他的体育训练。同时家中场地有限及孩子缺乏运动的积极性也是个问题。”
However, she has been heartened by how her son's teachers monitor and encourage his workouts, saying it is "a big push for my child. Meanwhile, this approach is also very interesting for him. He will set up the camera and arrange his time to do excercises every day. I think he enjoys this very much.”
但是，Ms. Wei却被学校老师对她儿子的监督及鼓励所感染。“对于我的孩子来说，老师的监督和鼓励是很大的推力。同时，这种方式对于他来说也很有趣。他需要自己使用摄像头来录像，并且每天安排时间来进行训练。我觉得我儿子很享受这种方式。”
