One for the HPE folk.  A Victorian PE teacher who labels himself "The PE Geek".

He does discuss other reasons why ICTs should be used in classes, but unfortunately doesn't give enough practical examples. The gamification he talks about most specifically is a dance game on the wii. Now of course the students are taking part in a game, but their bodies are moving just like they would be if they were dancing without the use of the game, so it is definitely physical. Using these types of games in your teaching shouldn't outweigh the the students taking part in physical activity or sports and training, but it should supplement it. I think using ICTs in HPE will help to improve motivation and interest in students who are uninterested in sport, which is a big focus that teachers face, particularly with junior high school girls. Using these games to get them interested is better than forcing them to take part in an activity where they aren't going to put in much effort anyway. ICTs are also immensely beneficial to students studying PE in senior, as a lot more of the focus is on technique and improvement, so using videos to view performance and receive feedback is great for these students. Especially the apps and programs you can get nowadays that let you pause and rewind video, play in slow motion, and draw on the screen (to check if your body is creating the right angles in the movement etc). In primary they wouldn't be so concerned with technique improvement like this, but ICTs can be used to expose students to sports that they wouldn't normally see or experience. Primary students could research and create their own games and sports using the internet and computers. (It is harder for me to think about the primary context, because I haven't had much to do with it). I am sure there are many ways ICTs can be incorporated in the Primary HPE setting, you just need to think outside the box.

Oops, I think I got PE Geek confused with a PE blog I was reading recently. After looking at the actual link, this PE geek offers so much more! It is actually great, the apps he talks about are great for primary and secondary.

Hi, I am not a HPE student but I stumbled across this site regarding integrating ICT and HPE thought it might be helpful to some of you!

HPE teacher sharing various ways of using Google forms. Also mentions the #physed hash tag. Do a Twitter search and you'll find quite a community sharing information about HPE.

Here's the HPE curriculum draft (Dec 2012). I just read the ICT implementation and I found it helpful in consolidating the ideas and resources I've come across. It's so important to teach children to question information they find on the net for its validity and reliablity, for the benefit of their long term health and wellbeing.

I found this blog particularly helpful as the amount of 'up to date' blogs that integrate HPE teaching along with ICT's are few and far between. This blog includes posts that relate to the Australian Curriculum which will benefit me in integrating ICT's and adhering to relevant curricular.

An old description of how the old HPE standard of a stopwatch has been reinvented as an ICT. Starting to help automate more of the process and allow the storage and manipulation of digital information

Here is my blog where I came across two sites that will be useful for assignment 2. This site looks at HPE and other Key Learning areas using ICTs. I hope this may be of use for some of you.

Hi Everyone, I have attached a link to my blog where I write about a great resource to use to integrate ICT in HPE. Feel free to check it out

What a great way to include brain breaks into a classroom.
