32% use exercise games like Dance –
Dance Revolution or Wii Fit
- 2009 Polar survey of 1,375 PE teachers
9. Use of technology in PE...
“…provides a range of tools that can
significantly extend and enrich teachers’
instructional strategies and support students’
learning.”
“…represents a natural extension of the
learning expectations, as does the use of other
technological devices such as pedometers and
heart rate monitors”
“…whenever appropriate students should be
encouraged to use ICT to support and
communicate their learning.”

31. On going process,
technology… as learning…
supporting metacognition
students engaged in the assessment process
monitor their own learning
use feedback from teacher, self, peers to determine next steps
helps set individual learning goals
for learning…
gather and interpret evidence to determine where students are and where they need to go,
and how best to get there
evidence to provide feedback,
adjust instruction
focus students in their learning
of learning…
collecting and interpreting evidence for the purpose of summarizing learning at a given point
in time,
to make judgements about the quality of student learning on the basis of established criteria,
assign a value to represent that quality.
The old advancements in technology and how we used them to drive instructional practice.
Transformation of the use of technology and how it addresses the needs of the 21st century learner. Through the use of technology windows of opportunity exist to enhance past and current curricular pedagogy. Its is a suppelmentation and enhancement of instructional practice, and should not be considered a substitute for instruction.
Through the use of Apple apps and there application some examples on how to integrate 21st century learning into instruction and how it relates to Blooom’s taxonomy of learning. - Kathy Schrock – www.shrockguide.net
Students are engaged in and through technology – integrating technology within the classrooms allows teachers to model and guide appropriate behaviours and attitudes so that independent use of technology spans beyond gaming and towards life long 21st century learning and into creating Healthy Active Lives – by introducing H&PE specific applications or managing their sedentary behaviours – Active.
Integration of technology has already been well established. Survey from 2009.
These numbers are rising especially with the shift if focus to fitness goal setting and assessments
Technology and the use of technology embedded in the Ontario Curriculum documents as a vehicle to ‘extend’ and ‘enrich’ through supporting student learning.
Technology is ‘encourage’to support and communicate learning – not replace.
BARRIERS – Discuss - Money, training, curriculum connections, student/staff buy in, parental apprehension – THINK / PAIR / SHARE – What are the barriers that you are facing developing/implementing tech into your schools or school boards?
Technology is the tool – ipad – heart monitors but not the focus.
Parent/Student Engagement Consultant on technology in the classroom- “Focus on how the technology will enhance your current instruction by helping support the creation of rich learning tasks that engage students in meaningful ways to support their learning and achievement of expectations.” – Aaron
Barriers can restrict the enhancement to transformation continuum either imposed on or self imposed – DIY
Substitution – iPad is used to take notes through apps like Evernote, video exemplar of activity
Augmentation – tool substitute – iPad is used to film students and edit the video instead of the camera – comparing there movements to the exemplars through the use of apps – creating new resources “Use technology to improve the lesson above the original format.”
-very little growth or change in expectations
Modification – task redesign where now you can change the instructional delivery through instant feedback or collection and analysis of data to provide realtime feedback, can be shared with students and parents through email and metacognition around improving performance. Can but probably not done without technology. Building a comic based on healthy issues.
Redefinition – creation of new tasks allows for learning transparency. Students complete a portfolio of exemplar movements based on learning goals – posting to web/blog and allowing for feedback and self assessment on movements. “Students could not have done the assignment without the use of technology.”
Digital Discoveries – around technology in the classroom and integrating into the SAMR model
Give some examples of types of technology you use to engage students currently?
PARK this question “How can you move this application of tech and move from Enhancement to Transformation?”
Reality students are engaged and plugged into the 21st century technological advancements, learning things at a rapid pace, as educators it is important that we teach students how to use this technology safely and purposefully.
As PE teachers we need to make sure that we engage and move them to use technology to enhance their knowledge/understanding/thinking and application towards strategies and practices that based in healthy active lifelong living.
Screenshot of my iPad screen 3 tools for education. Having an understanding of what apps can do for your instruction and life allows to focus application of those apps. Too many to learn them all – catergorize them and look for advancements – continue to learn – DIY.
Identify apps that you are currently using and group them using the SAMR Model – try to categorize them based on SAMR Model.
New Apps are being added daily – having an understanding of what you are looking for and the purpose – think back to the SAMR model continuum. Also have the courage to risk take the use of apps into class and grow together in the discovery of the use of the apps is critical for students to learn.
Creating an atmosphere of professional dialogue and inquiry based on staff and students of similar needs will help to maximize your time in searching and applying tools and applications based on your level of integration.
Lots of reviews and searchable ways to check on use without purchasing – www.thepegeek.com – Jarrod Robinson - now creating some great apps – Easy Assessment and FitTest
New Apps are being added daily – having an understanding of what you are looking for and the purpose – think back to the SAMR model continuum and search for applications that will move you up the continuum – work to redifinition
Assessment as, for and Learning. – Time, number of students, absence…
Heart rate provides an unique example for the student to accurate immediate assessment data based on their current level of effort – as learning
At the end of a lesson or unit of time students have an opportunity to review their personalized data to create specific expectations related to their own fitness directly connecting curricular expectations beyond the PA and PF and into the metacognition of Healthy Active Living and Living Skills – assessment for learning
At the end of a block of time like a semester change or environmental or curricular shift in focus students can be evaluated based on their abiltiy to apply the principles being taught and demonstrate improvement or describe the factors/barriers that contributed to them not improving – assessment of learning

Some useful and integrated websites…
Key persons to follow – aggregated information is key due to the value of time, as we balance life, work and family! Twitter is an excellent quick way to stay informed and up to date – and FlipBoard makes it pretty…demo?
For more information about Polar and Apple products…
How does technology enhance the instructional practice? Where does it fit in?
Looking at the 4 parts of the learning cycle – PLC, TLCP, Adult Learning Model – technology enhances the ability to enhance and transform instructional practice – think of the four levels of integration described in the SAMR model.
Can it be part of the whole process?
If so…What are some technological applications and where do they fit in?
Edugains – supported through Growing Success document – purpose of assessment and evaluation to improve student learning
Plan – use of technology to enhance instruction for student engagement and achievement – using applications to collect evidence of learning
Reflect – to look at the collection of evidence, analyze the learning and strategize and plan next steps in terms of teacher and student needs.
Act – gathers evidence to reflect on the learning goals, check point on where students are during a period of time and allow for adjusting of instruction to meet the current learning needs, provide feedback for analysis teacher, peer and self, maintains student focus on learning goals and success criteria associated with the learning goals, unbias and immediate feedback – see themselves.
Portfolio of assessment, collection of technological applications to guide and enhance the learning process as learning (student centered –self) and for learning (evidence to guide instruction – feedback – refocus student learning). Culminating in the use of applications of learning to quantify the learning and establish next steps for instruction of curriculum expectations.
It is my hope that you have been exposed to the level of integration associated with enhancing instruction in PE, examples of some of the tools and resources available to engage you in technology for PE and to summarize how learning through technology improves student learning.
