2.2.1 Interactive Physical Activity Challenge

Duration: 1 hour

The learners should think about what health apps would be helpful for them on their own, and should write down the areas which are of interest for them. After this step, they are asked to search for health apps in this specific area on their own, and select one health app, considering the criteria for selecting trustable health apps. In the end, the learners are asked to write down shortly, why they have chosen this specific app, orientating on the criteria.
