I added in the option to get links from either Google Drive or Dropbox. Some districts were not allowing links to go to Dropbox so now there are now 2 sets of PE Virtual Lessons, 1 that links to Google Drive and 1 that links to Dropbox. Both avenues use PDF's that can be viewed/downloaded but not edited. Please check with your school/district to see if links to and from the Virtual Gym Lesson in either Google Drive or Dropbox are permitted before you purchase!!
