Using ICT in your PE lessons

For years PE teachers have been among the most proactive educators to harness the potential of ICT to enhance learning experiences for students. 

In particular, video analysis of performance has always been an important part of ICT use in PE, and although the methods employed in lessons today are obviously more advanced, the principles often remain the same.

One fundamental principle I always ask teachers to adhere to is to only use technology in the classroom if it has a positive influence on student learning.

Technology, and in particular portable devices, are an integral part of most people’s everyday lives, and young people in our schools are especially wedded to them. So how are PE teachers in particular using these devices and other technological advances to enhance learning in the classroom? I posed this question to my Personal Learning Network recently on Twitter and these are my favourite responses from some top notch #PEGEEKS.
