Notebooks, Handhelds, and Software in Physical Education (Grades 5-8)
Mohnsen, Bonnie
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v16 n5 p18-21 Sep 2005
Heart monitors, pedometers, and now virtual reality-based equipment (e.g., Cyberbikes, "Dance Dance Revolution") have been embraced by physical educators as technologies worth using in the physical education program; however, the use of computers (be it a desktop, notebook, or handheld) in the physical education instructional program, has not been as readily adopted by physical educators. This article describes how software can assist with physical education instruction and assessment. The integration of technology helps students attain a greater understanding of movement principles and concepts; however, to date the evidence is mostly anecdotal. It should be noted that by following the suggestions in this article, physical educators will not only be addressing the NASPE physical education content standards, but also the NETS-S standards.
