Mrs. McGovern’s Fitness Lifestyle Design Class A little about myself: I am Tammy McGovern and I am in my 4th year at FLVS. I have taught Personal Fitness for that entire time and am just now starting with the FLD course. I am excited about working with you and hope that we have a great 16 weeks together Move ahead to Tips for success I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I am originally from SC and just returned here almost 3 years ago after living in Tampa, FL for 7 years. I love being closer to my family, but I do miss Tampa. I am married and have 3 children and a dog. Toby is 7 years old and is in the first grade. Catie is 5 years old and is in kindergarten. Derek just turned 1 in December. My dog is a 12 year old German Shepherd and has been with us his entire life. The first 6 buttons on the left navigational toolbar are the most frequently used buttons. We will go over each one in detail: Lessons, Course Information, Assessments, Grade Book, Email & Discussion Groups. The final button that you will need is Log Off. Be sure to use this every time that you are through work Lessons The Lessons area is where you will find your readings and assignments. Be sure to follow all of the arrows and read each lesson thoroughly. Course Information There is so much important information in this area (hence the name) Please take some time to check out each link on the left and above. Assessments The Assessments area is where you will submit your assignments each week. Even if you have sent an assignment by fax/mail or completed an oral exam, you must still submit that assignment in the Assessment area. Gradebook This is where you can see which assignments have been turned in, check on your grades for assignments that you have turned in and to see if anything needs to be resubmitted for more points. There are a few other important things that you can find out from the Gradebook area. You can find your current percentage (grade) in the class, your percent complete (how much of the course you have finished) as well as the number of assignments that you have completed. You can match the information here with your individual Pace Chart and Weeks Active to see if you are “On Pace” at any given time. Email You should check your email every day. You may email me either through the course or at: tmcgovern@flvs.net Please remember Student e-mail accounts are to be used for FLVS course-related email only and not for general introductions or spamming of people in your address book. Discussion Groups The Discussion area is where you will post your discussions. Please be sure to submit your discussion in the section that corresponds with your last name and the lesson that you wish to post. FLD Workouts Starting in Week 5, you will begin your workouts. You will need to complete 3 workouts each week for 9 weeks. If you wish to accelerate your pace, you may print out your Fitness Lifestyle Journal in Lesson 2.01 & read Lesson 3.03 for instructions on how to begin the workouts.
