Technology and physical education has also changed in a rapid rate compared to many years ago. The development of TPACK has been thoughtfully created because of the new ecology of social media, applications, and electronic devices. Students are engaged and attracted by video games, music and devices. How can I use Fortnite (the top computer game) as an example to get my students participating in the activity? What ways I can have music increase students' heart rates and energy expenditure in P.E.? How do I balance between active student learning to student learning using devices? These questions are random but after reading TPACK and watching the video of Punya Mishra helped me think deeper with my driving question. I was amused when he mentioned using a slate (chalk board) is technology. Breanna also told me using a pen is technology. Technology doesn't always has to be advance, as long teaching and learning happens.

That is a good point about the technology! I think often we focus on the newest most innovative technologies, but above all learning is the most important thing! It makes me wonder what technology in schools will look like in the future, and if people will still find uses for the tools we have today as we still have uses for old technologies like pens and whiteboards! It's nice to see how your driving question has developed into thoughts connected to your students interests.

I think the way in which you are employing technology as a means of improving, and extending the physical education lessons you are teaching is truly innovative. Transferring TPACK into the world of physical education has the capability to transform the health and fitness of the generation we are teaching today, and this therefore will lead to a future much more aware of the implications nutrition and fitness can have on their overall health, both physically and emotionally. I think one day it would be neat to have your students become the creators/educators, and create videos that can be shared online to teach the world around them about exercise, nutrition, and overall heath tips. I am excited to hear about how your students have been affected by your work throughout this program!

I also loved his comment about a pen being technology. I think we tend to forget how important it is for our students to be fluent with pens and pencils to complete a task. I can't wait to hear more about your engagement ideas!
