Hello everyone , today’s education has moved forward from top down to bottom up.Teachers are the facilitators and not saints on the stageOur presentation today is about the tools which will enable a PE teacher to be an effective felicitator.
Teachers have been reluctant to use these tech tools due to their ignorance about availability and application. Hence, this is an effort to present the tech tools for PE Teachers to educate our “digital natives” in their 21st century learning style.
* There are 5 smart reasons and categories tech tools could be placed in. # 1 Higher level of classroom activity –accurate feedback possibility.# 2 Collaboration # 3 Android and apple apps- Highly engaging # 4 Web-based learning and access # 5 Video Games powered tools .
As the name describes HRM measures heart rate using HR electrodes worn around the chestToday HRM are an effective tool to accurately measure the activity of the heart during PE.This is a tool we recommend PE teachers to motivate students intrinsically.
Best part about HRM is its ability to store the data .We can share the data electronically with the students , parents and admin.Data can be printed & analyzed by the students and teachers physically or online.
Digital video recording has opened up a highly effective way of enhancing learning in school. ( IF NEEDED DO NOT SAY THIS) PE is a subject in which a great deal of visual learning take place . Video taping provide clear visuals of performances and specific techniques Students can get specific visual feedback of there own movement through vidoe replay.
A Pedometer measures the distance that you move. PM can be an excellent tool for students to see how much have they moved during the PE lesson . As with HR monitors, students can set personal targets for potential improvements in each lesson.
Using Digital cameras , teachers and students can quickly take many pictures Digital cameras could be used in the same manner that video camera is used to improve motor learning. For example teacher and student could take pic of groups and individuals executing various stages of motor skills & then assess and analyze it for further improvement .
The ability to have several inputs into the same document via Google docs has fantastic uses within PE.Collaboration is a 21st century skill and Google doc. allows collaboration in and outside the classroom. For example , students and teachers can work on same document to create and evaluate a unit plan , activity , performance task or a blog .
Buzzword is a less known , but very effective ,yet simple alternate to Google Docs . Apart from the standard Google Doc features Buzzword offers a few key uses, for users of all levels. Buzzword lets you share documents with people, giving individuals varying levels of access, from comments to editing to just reading the document.We recommend this tool for differentiation and tearing while collaborating .
*As an educator, if collaboration is what you’re into, give Etherpad a good look.* Just click “Start New Pad” to get going. Share a link to the pad or send invitations by email.*As users come in, edit the text in real-time, changes automatically appear. Chat in the sidebar, highlight which user made a given change, save revisions to revert if a mistake is made.
If a teacher is not using the power of android and apple in a PE classroom , these days, they may end up depriving there students of some very effective and easy tech tools or apps (assome of you may know) which can empower them towards lifelong fitness. Android and apple are the two seperate OS which run on a smart phone or a I-pad kind of devise called tablet. Following next are some wonderful and very easy examples of applications which empowers the student and teachers to amplify the learning, , product and understanding of the subject.
*Full Fitness is a personal trainer type app that offers over 300 exercises all explained in detail with pictures, videos and written instructions.

Its location is shared online using GPS technology.Anyone with an iPhone or Android phone, can try to locate the geocache.
Movement and skill analysis is one of the essential aspects of PE .Traditionally it was tedious and very expensive , to set up a video labs and then generate reports. Now there are lots of apps out there for sports analysis and undoubtedly so. There are so many teams that are trying to gain the edge over oppositions and technology plays a huge part in this. We recommend PE teachers to use any of the many sports analysis apps like touch stat lite, coda and cricket coach for sports movement analysis and give instant oral and visual feedbacks to student.
Calorie Counter Pro keeps your food intake in check. Theapplication contains a database of over 300,000 foods, making it possible to monitoreverything you eat. Have your students use it to audit the school canteen to comeup with a selection of healthy alternatives.
