Revised Philosophy Statement

After looking over my original philosophy statement and considering what I have learned in the class in the past few weeks I can't say that I would change it much. I still think that technology can play a small role in the Physical Education setting. However, after doing the emerging technologies assignment I believe that in the future, technology will play an even bigger role in PE. Although I do not plan to pursue a career in Pedagogy I am very curious to see what kind of technologies will be developed for use in that field in the next few decades. At this time though, I just don't see many ways in which I would use technology in the physical education setting, except as a supplementary tool for presenting information, collecting data and doing evaluations. But I think that those tools are more for the teacher and I would rather see the technology benefit the students health and activity level in a more direct way. Which is why I mentioned incorporating video games, like the WiiFit and Dance, Dance Revolution in PE in my initial philosophy statement.
