Gymnasium Technology discusses how technology can be incorporated into physical education to make management easier through fitness testing, assessments, and parent contact. It discusses having students bring their own devices (BYOD) if school policies allow, and lists several free fitness and exercise tracking apps that can be used, such as MyFitnessPal, Snapguide, Ubersense, and Fitness Buddy. Google Drive is recommended for creating forms for students to fill out to easily analyze fitness data. Additional resources mentioned include the SMART Exchange for lesson plans and materials for SMART Boards, and the free Remind 101 and The PE Geek apps and websites.
