IMPORTANCE OF
pupils ❖ One of the simplest ways to monitor physical activity is to count steps. To
do so, pedometers can be used.
Offer ❖ Pedometers are useful in a wide range of age categories.
They sensory Promote ❖ They may also be used for a multitude of activities such as housework
increase opportuni learning and exercise.

(SPEAKER: Nonetheless, instructional resources increase pupils' active involvement in the learning process, save SLIDE 9:LECTURE
teachers' time, and reduce the propensity for the learning process to become teacher-centered.)

Six Techniques to Use Technology in Physical Education and Health

(SPEAKER: Physical education can be daunting to teach for a variety of reasons, ranging from the lack of facilities to
keeping pupils involved. To address these issues, some educators are utilizing technologies to build more engaging
classes that cater to pupils of all fitness levels. Here are some other examples of technologies and how to incorporate

3. Health Tracking Information
1. Using Pedometers

❖ Using information from heart monitors and pedometers

● The promotion of the pedometer as a fitness device started in the 1960s.
● Dr. Yoshiro Hatano, a professor at the Kyushu University of Health and
Welfare, undertook some applied research into exercise and calories.
● Concerned about the rise in obesity in Japan and wanting to promote and
reinforce daily activity as part of “good health”
● Hatano began selling a device known as “Manpo-kei” – the 10,000 steps
meter.

❖ developing a lengthy strategy for improving well-being is critical.
❖ Connectivity is integrated into some pedometers and heart monitors.
❖ Instructors may use health tracking and monitoring devices to create
individualized targets for their pupils.

4. Maximizing Applications
Types of health tracking apps (Health Tracking Research, 2020)
Broadly speaking there are two types of tracking methods, apps and wearables.
According to currently divide tracking apps into the following 16 general
categories:

❖ Activity & Fitness

❖ Data Collection
❖ Diet

SLIDE 12:LECTURE
❖ Physical educators have a multitude of resources at their reach to assist
pupils in keeping active.
❖ Applications and/or devices may record one's activity and give users
dietary recommendations.
Online maps, for example, may show pupils distances, which could be a sort of
adventure or challenge to them.

5. Incorporating Video Resources

❖ Educators may use a variety of resources available on online video

platforms.
❖ These can be used to teach fitness exercise, dance, sports, and other
recreational activities. (PICTURES ABOVE)
❖ Educators can also tickle the pupils' creativity by instructing them to
create their instructional video material depending on the topic given to
them.

6. Including Games as a strategy

❖ Using technologies to build a more diverse and interactive classroom is a

great strategy.
❖ Games and any video resources provide a stimulating experience to
pupils who are challenged.
❖ Using these allows educators to create more engaging activities that will
sustain the pupil's interest.
