After the end of KIN 460 class, my opinion on technology remains somewhat the same. I feel that it is only right that we use the technology equipment that there is out there into a physical education class. The technology that is used in the physical education class must be utilized correctly and efficiently. Technology will further improve the physical education classroom and will help to give students the idea of exercising and participating in physical activity for a lifetime.
Now and days less kids are playing outside where they get most of their physical fitness and have fun. Therefore one of the best technologies out there is the Nintendo Wii Fit. One of the main reasons preventing kids from playing outside are the game systems. I feel that is very important to take one of the most popular technology that kids use and modify it allow kids to participate in physical activity and also have fun. Even though the Wii will most likely not give children the required daily exercise but some exercise is better than none. Another popular technology being use in physical education classes is Dance Dance Revolution. Participating in DDR during class made me realized how much fun and physical activity on can get from it. I am sure there are other game that can give the same results and I believe every school should have some sort of gaming system but hopefully it will be more affordable than how it is today. I prefer for kids to participate in some sort of sport but if this gets them more involved and have for fun then I am all for it.
Technology is great because it can improve teaching by allowing more time for physical activity but as long as it’s being used correctly. I believe it can make students for interested and involved in physical education.
