In order to prepare our students to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, it is imperative to incorporate the use of technology. Luckily, there are many great reources online for Physical Educators to help meet these challenges. Below I listed a few among the many sites and blogs that help support technology integration and serve as valuable teacher and student resoures.

Your focus on PE will be truly helpful at my school. Our PE teacher is also our tech coordinator so I am going to forward these links to him. I know he is going to be fascinated with them. He is always looking for ways to integrate PE and technology. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteCasey, I'd also recommend checking out Carone Fitness. I know that they are big in the physical education portion of K-12 online learning (and I regularly post their newsletters on my own blog).
