Downloading Your HRM in PEM 9:30

Gaston is generating class lists. Gaston sent school lists for all D16 member schools....included the fields ID, Last name, First Name, DOB, Gender....Members need to go in and assign teachers and courses fro each student.

Straps to be exchanged as large are too big...will identify numbers for Alain

Looking at basic functions with PE Manager -

School Information Terms Courses Teachers Import Student Data Students Tab (use this to double check) Rosters (Allows you to add classes or remove from roster) HRM Library - Set HRM's and Assign HRM's

You can add alerts (peanut butter allergy, for example) Notes - You can add a note and assign to one individual or to all

Daily Items Wizard _ Good to Use Pocket PC/Companion PC Attndance Attire Attitude Performance Safety We can add other items we want to track. For each item we set a default description. For example, for attendance you can select "present" as default and assign point value.

Rubrics

Can choose Skills or Heart Rate Can set/adjust rubrics Choose "soccer" for skills and "HR soccer" for heart rate You can add a skill and select the number of scores you wish to create for the skill For example,

Archery Scores - Skills, Safety, Techniques Then assign points for as many descriptors as we'd like 2 points - good 1 point - fair

Grading Schemes - showed how to set up grading schemes

Reports

Pocket PC Alain showed us how to synchronize the Pocket PC and how to enter grades

We can also download heart rates onto pocket PC instead of interfacing with razor.

Jamie could not download files from HRM's onto pocket PC..others seem to be experiencing similar problems

TriFit700 Alain did and overview - update from previous sessions

Problem - razor needs to be safely removed like a USB drive although it may not be recognized. Need to find a solution as removing the razor without selecting the remove safely icon can cause computer to crash.

Alain showed how to update student lists for TriFit 700. This is also in the binder.

Q - Tammy - How do we remove/delete names scoobie doo for example (many at one time) instead of just one at a time. For example, how do we delete graduating class? Alain will find out.

Auto pilot set-up in TriFit 700

Go to defaults, select auto pilot, select the fitness tests we are using Airplane on green will allow for establishing a protocol. Students were tested one at a time at MVHS and they were assessed on all tests Tammy and Jim had selected.

From PRINT tab we can produce a number of differnt types of reports.

Reports - Summary and Graphical


 * Utilities**, then Group reports, select all records less than age 18, males only (for example)

Also looked at query builder to build a report

Synch with Pocket Trifit also on Utilities list
