Computers and Physical Education

This article has some great ideas on how to use spreadsheets to have students track their progress in physical education. I think this would be especially valuable for kids to use on the standards reported on their report cards. The report card we currently use does not give any specific information, just the level (developing, proficient or advanced.)
I also think using a spreadsheet and charts to rank kids, without using their names of course, would be helpful for kids and parents. That way if a child is in the middle of the class in all skill areas, everyone involved will know how much progress they are making compared to others in the class.
