Classroom Technology

In my Physical Education class it can be difficult to incorporate because you have to walk the line of helping them use computers but at the same time you want them to be active so it can be counter-productive.  I have come to the realization that it is best to use technology to enhance their activity level.  For instance, when students use the fitness gram they first take part in numerous physical activities and then they put that information into a program that lets them now if they are healthy or if they might need to work on certain aspects of their health. 

Most teachers think of PE as just a class where students run around and they don't really take it seriously.  In reality physical education is the most important class a student can have because it deals with their own personal health and many children only have healthy moments in school because they go home and eat badly or just sit in front of the xbox or tv.
