Weight Management)
 Provide students with link to Padlet
discussion.
 Moderate and track who is posting and
how frequently. Promote healthy, positive,
and progressive discussion.
 Implement throughout other health or
discussion elements to allow for another
area of learning outside of the classroom.

productive and retentive learning
atmosphere.
