Pedagogy of Technology in PE “Often teachers are afraid of the openness and unfamiliar territory of the new technology, so restrict what can and can’t be done, creating a closed approach and system.” (Laidlaw & O’Mara, 2011)
“While the teachers are cognizant of the diversity of technologies available in the home or community, they do not use this same diversity in their classroom, and they seem unable to perceive that the learning that occurs at home can have any possible place in literacy [or any subject area] classrooms” (Honan, 2012)

Pedagogy of Technology in PE • Things to keep in mind: • Will this technology used to support this activity enhance student learning? Or is it just a gadget? • Will this integrated technology support students to create, collaborate, communicate, explore, connect, or extend their learning? View technology as a tool to ‘think’ with? • Does this choice of device best serve the student’s needs in learning this skill? • Do you have infrastructure and resources to teach this lesson? WiFi, YouTube access, apps available on devices, small ratio of students per device etc. • The information from this slide has been modified from Using Multiple iPads in #physed by Nathan Horne and Patty Kestell and from lecture given by Naomi Hartl.
Setting the stage – mix, pair, share 1. Mix and mingle to the music 2. Pair up and introduce yourselves 3. Share one way you incorporate technology into your classes
