I was wondering how I could include technology more in my PDHPE classes, and after reading the PE chapter of ‘Integrating Technology into Teaching’ (Roblyer, M., 2006) I have realised that there are many sources that I use that I hadn’t realised were really technological. Technology devices and software are available for many PE activities [...]

Another aticle about the Net Generation…ther appears to be much research into their needs and ICT. This one was by Diana and James Oblinger (Is it age or IT: First steps toward understanding the Net Generation). Again it highlights the diiferences between generations, and what us educators need to tap into to achieve well with [...]

I’ve been reading an article by Barbara Means entitled ‘Technology Use in Tomorrow’s Schools’ (Educational Leadership, 2001). One area of her paper I’d like to highlight is technology for meaningful learning. I guess nowadays, making work meaningful is relating it to technology as this is what our students use and can relate to in the [...]

I’ve just had a look at a paper which was written by Dr. Cameron Richards for the AARE 2001 conference in Fremantle in 2001. It is entitled ‘Electronic-age education and the need to revamp the action research model’.

It seems that the craze in schools nowadays is the use of interactive whiteboards (IWB). I personally haven’t used them for myself but i’ve done some reading into the effects of them on students’ learning. One article I read by Benjamin and Hughes (2006) talks about engaging students using the IWB, and intersetingly most teachers [...]

I’ve never been into youtube until I did my prac. What a great resource it is and can be such an effective teaching tool. Not only do the kids think it’s cool, but it can explain a seemingly difficult concept far better than I can in around 3mins. Anyhow, I went on and searched for [...]

I’ve just been reading a section in a book entitled “Effective teaching strategies” by Roy Killen 2005 (Social Science Press: South Melbourne).

I’ve just read Julie Park’s blog entitile “Are kids too wired?” posted Spet 19, 2008. She raises some intersting points about whether kids ( and ourselves as teachers) spend too much time using the various technologies.

A newspaper article I’ve just read (Are PC’s for stopping blackboredom?. Coulthard, May 19 2008 in the Melbounre Age) gives the other side of the story when it comes to technology in education. A very interesting and thought provokin read I thought as it asks the question: ‘Do computers make learning better and easier?’. I [...]

I’ve just had a look at Ben’s blog entitled “Increase in technolgy = increase in obesity”. It got me thinking jow true this may be. And as a PDHPE teacher it worries me. Years ago playing meant going to the park or running around the streets. Now it means sitting down and playing the playstation…surely [...]
