Chapter 10: “The role of TPCK in physical education” By Luke E. Kelly
Who would of thought using technology in a PE class. Well if you go to OHMS you will see technology being used repeatedly. Small pieces of technology that are used might be a pedometer that the students are wearing throughout class or Dance Dance Revolution game going on to get the students moving around. Our school also uses Wii fit and other video games that support learning.
Technology plays an important role in PE educators. PE educators also need to have training on were to find these resources and how to set up game consoles. Technology is very motivating for students and to have a PE class that plays guitar hero or Wii tennis has proven to be motivating for our students.
The book does make a good point about the amount of TPCK used in a district depends on many variables and right now budget issues are going to be our next problem.

Your school is very fortunate to have all the technology for Physical Education, especially with all the financial difficulties going on around us.
ReplyDeleteI know our district is fortunate to have all the technology that we do. I know the PE department has fund raised for a a long time to get what they have. I really liked the websites that were given. PE is not what it used to be and those sites gave great ideas that I will definitely share with my PE teachers.
