Technology vs. Activity

Technology is considered an important component of Physical Education. When I chose phys ed to be my major, I was unaware of the involvement of technology in the teacher curriculum. When I think of teaching gym class, I am thinking of me wearing sweats to teach people play dodgeball, basketball, and the importance of physical activity in everyday living. When I am forced to leave the gymnasium and give my students a health approach, then computers and other devices may come more into play. I hate using computers even now. Maybe as I learn more of my field of study, I will become more fond of modern technology and incorporating it in teaching.

I agree with you pat. I enjoy the technology that i am learning about. I am a computer person and love messing around with electronics. When we began learning about all of the stuff used in PE classes it just got me more excited and really made me feel good about my choice to become a phyical education teacher
