THE ABILITIES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND MULTIMEDIA
An art or craft of responding to our educational needs and a theory about how problems in human learning are identified and solve (David H. Jonassen, Kyle L. Peck, Brent G. Wilson), is known as Educational technology which is said to be a process and not a product, it is a very broad term and can be refer to all the ways people use their inventions and discoveries that can be devices, tools, equipment, activities, procedures and processes to satisfy their needs and desires.
The innovation of internet in our society has a great impact to the students and teachers. Indeed, technologies

But how could it be possible? In a specific topic like gymnastics, instead of teaching them one by one it is advisable to use technology and multimedia presentation in physical education as a teaching tool because it could be useful for both the teachers and the students since it offers the atmosphere which can provide students autonomous learning. That is, it provide a learning environment where the students more actively involved in learning process (Thornburg and Hill, 2004) …show more content…
getting the students well prepared for a growing demand for technology b. the potential of computer in learning individually c. the belief that using the computer in the classroom will increase the productivity (Cuban, 1993). However, we should not always lend on to the help of technology and never let technology control us but we should be the one to control them, be a responsible user and learn how to manipulate our time by spending it correctly and a discipline ourselves. We can’t deny the fact that technology is part of our life and without it we will experience so much difficulty on how to deal with our society. We hardy need technology, but we also need to understand that all things have its limitation. A technology can be a teacher since they both gives information for us to learn, ideas to fill in our thoughts and teaches us how to be a productive
In “Unplugged: The Myth of Computers in the Classroom,” David Gelernter suggests the limit of technology use in the classroom. Over that past several years, technology has advanced quite a bit. This new outbreak of technology is beneficial in some ways but Gelernter feels that technology is replacing the ways of teaching. He sees the significance of the subject and offers much visual analysis which helps the reader take more caution in using technology while in the classroom. Gelernter feels that technology builds a wall that enables students to build strong, basic skills.
Graff and Birkenstein argue that ‘the influence {of technology on education} is neither disastrous…..nor wonderfully revolutionary.’ They argue that However, there are a number of ways of technology can be used for good on education. Enhanced teaching is a common way. There are concepts that are better taught through illustration than dry theory.
In today’s modern society technology plays a huge role in everyday life. Technology has a big position in education. Today students use laptops for school on an everyday basis to take notes, work on assignments, and research. Many people agree that, when it comes to education, technology can either be very harmful or very helpful. Timothy D. Snyder, a history professor at the University of Yale has written five award-winning books.
An effective teacher is likely to switch and mix new approaches to suit the objectives of the unit of work or lesson. As objectives vary within a lesson, the effective teacher will move between different teaching approaches or methods. The teacher begins by deciding what he or she wishes to achieve and then chooses the most appropriate method of realizing those objectives. By injecting pedagogical approach to teaching, students can have a better chance and can engage to physical education and sports.
Since some schools are more open to the idea of intertwining technology with learning, some factors should be considered before transitioning. Before integrating technology into curriculums, schools should consider possible addiction that students may acquire, lack of skills and short attention spans that may result from technological exposure, as well as the positive potential that technology has- like easy access. In the end schools should focus on both the negative and the positive side to rule out which one outweighs the other. Being exposed to technology at first can have an exciting effect on the user, overtime this can lead to addiction. Younger generations especially, can easily get captured by the contents on their computer as most of them “prefer picture to words” (Source E).
Exercise Science is the major that I am going to take during college. This major consists of the anatomy of the human body and how it moves itself and other objects. Our bodies are machines and they require everything to function properly. I have previously researched information regarding exercise science . This has given me a lot of information and understanding of the subject.
Physical education would start in just about 1820 when schools focused on gymnastics, hygiene training and care and development of the human body. By the year 1950, over 400 institutes had introduced majors in physical education. Colleges were encouraged to focus on intramural sports particularly track, field and football. But now, in the 21st Century schools are starting to rethink if they should have it in their curriculum. In our era right now children are becoming more obese and overweight than ever due to all of the electronic distractions in today 's society.
604 assignments 1 1) Concepts and structure This essay will first answer what is skill theme approach? It is a model that describes both content of physical education (what to teach) and pedagogy of physical education (how to teach) (Graham, Holt/Hale, & Parker, 2010). In skill theme approach teacher is the instructional leader. Teacher uses shaping process to achieve desired skill movement patterns. Teachers structures the learning, give detailed and repeated instructions, ask large number of questions.

The author of this article, his name is Roboer B. Kozma, is now working for the Technology in Learning center, the name of the center is SRI International. In this article he explores all of the findings of research that was done by many researchers on how the technology is affecting our classrooms.
"Technology is like art. It is a soaring exercise of the human imagination". Like everything in this world that has its good and bad effects on us, technology does too. How we use technology is important in determining what results it would bring us. Nowadays, technology is heavily used for educational purposes.
Last but not least, technology is also helpful because it benefits educated people. This is a true fact because students can use online resources as a learning aid, and teachers can use different software and presentations to teach. For example, “technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways” (). Another example of technology helping educated people is, “its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could
In the classroom, technology can encompass all kinds of tools from low-tech pencil, paper, and chalkboard, to the use of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration and conferencing tools, and more. The newest technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. Today, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to teach without technology and how hard it is to learn without it. Technology plays a major part in our lives as students.
With the use of digital learning, it will help the students to be more active engaged in their lesson,
Technology can also facilitate people to solve the problem or task becomes easier. When there IT approaches to education, this will make it easier for students to create their work. With information technology, students are able to develop an approach that is creative and can create
We cannot exclude technology which helps to develop all these characteristic of the modern classroom. These classrooms help student to enhance their knowledge and to prepare themselves for higher
