Technology in PE

Blogging Ideas for PE

I feel his advice about using class blogs is interesting. I feel that he can maintain a close relationship with the students. The can write freely on their blogs and don't have to be ashamed about them. A great discussion topic could be exercise or food. They could log their intakes and have an open discussion about it.

As a teacher you can have discussions about exercises and games the students enjoy playing. This could give new ideas to you as a teacher. You are able to find out what the students want to be doing. If you find out there is something that they absolutely hate you can find your way around while teaching.

I like to bring technology into PE. I feel that Wii Fit is a good idea. Some kids don't have a Wii at home and are unable to experience the fun. Also, I have seen teachers use DDR in their gyms. This is much easier to get a hold of and many lessons you can do with students. Many students don’t like to dance with boys or girls so bringing in DDR, they can challenge other students without touching each other.

I really like the idea of students posting their fitness logs. Not only can the students see what they are doing and take pride in their work. As a teacher you can motivate your students to do better or encourage them to be healthier. Students will also be able to see their improvements without you telling them. You can have a class competition but also make it so they have self competition.

Technology in PE is hard, but can be done. I feel that added some technology will keep you as the teacher up to date with the students. Also I feel that technology can get in the way of being active. I would rather be active with my students in the gym and encourage them to be active outside of school.
