Technology Issues for Physical

Education

Screen Time and Childhood Obesity: • Two Factors

• Screen based media is serving as a

replacement for more active pursuits, thus

decreasing energy expenditure.

• Increased caloric intake has been associated

with television viewing as children tend to

consume more snacks and make poor food

choices during television viewing time.

Issues Concerning Technology

and Physical Education:

Other issues?

Managing the “iGeneration” Teaching and Learning Characteristics: • They were introduced to technology at birth and have

always known a world containing constant bombardment of

media and technology.

• Many of the types of technology considered by their

teachers as “innovations” have been commonplace

their entire lives.

• Their teachers and school systems reasons may be

slower to incorporate new technologies into their

instruction.

• They may require constant motivation and reinforcement

for task completion and have a tendency want immediate

answers versus having to process or conduct extensive

searches for information.

obesity.(pp. xx-xx) Charlotte, NC: Information Age.


Managing the “iGeneration”

Teaching and Learning Characteristics: • They crave to a near obsession involvement in the

social worlds created by Facebook, MySpace and

Twitter as well as internet based information.

• Cellular Phones 12-14 years for 50 million users.

• YouTube less than one year. • Because of this social networking they may have an

inability to separate individual from collaborative or

do not see plagiarism or trading assignments or

information as cheating.






D


Teaching and Learning Characteristics: • They tend to be close to family, and parents

tend to be very involved in their children’s

themselves technology driven high degree of

parental involvement.

grade books through programs such as

Zangle™or Skyward™.






D

“iGeneration” Appropriate Use of Educational Technology

in Physical Education: • Instructional technologies, if implemented in

alignment with appropriate practice guidelines, can be

effective tools for enhancing instruction in K-12

physical education.

• Instructional technology should not replace

instructional interventions in K-12 physical education

but provide a supplement to improving their

effectiveness.

“iGeneration” Appropriate Use of Educational Technology

in Physical Education: • Instructional technology, if implemented into K-12

physical education should provide the opportunity for

all students to receive equal exposure and receive the

benefits associated with integration.

• Instructional technology can be a valuable tool for

teachers to assist with maintaining student data and

documenting student progress related to standards-

based curriculum objectives.
