A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin verb "celebrere" but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. Another example is Al Gore, whose environmental crusade has elevated him to celebrity status. On the other hand, mass entertainment personalities such as soap opera actors or music stars are likely to become celebrities even if the person deliberately avoids media attention.

Our school has recently purchased DDR and Wi Fit. The kids absolutely love it and come out of class dripping with sweat. Technology meets the P.E. avenue finally and I couldn't be more happy. Sometimes we get stuck in old ways this should have been done awhile ago. What does anyone else think about DDR and Wi Fit in a classroom setting?

I have worked with technology in the classroom and i think it's great. But there are some flaws to it. The positive aspects is that it keeps kids moving to something they like. Most of the students like doing DDR (dance dance revolution). We also have exercise bikes that are hooked up to flat screen tv's. These tv's are connected to a play station and the students can only generate their game to work with constant cycling. So for instance if they are playing a racing car game they use the steering wheel controller to guide the car, but to make it move they must pedal at a certain speed. Their car will go faster if they pedal faster. I have tried it and it's a lot of fun. But the negative is that we do not have enough DDR pads for everyone and Cycling bikes. It is a good way to incorporate technology. We also use pedometers and the students like to see how many steps they can get. Essentially this makes them work harder.
