Role of Technology in Learning

Technology is integral in today's learning, and can be particularly utilized within the physical education environment. Things such as heart beat monitors, youtube fitness videos, music with Spotify or Pandora, and iPads can all be used appropriately to engage students in learning. With everything going on today with the pandemic of COVID-19, technology is that much more important to stay connected with students. Platforms such as Zoom has allowed people to stay in contact with each other and allowed teachers to deliver instructional content to their students. Without technology, it would be incredibly difficult to conduct the remote learning that is a must during this time. Thankfully, we now understand the importance of technology when it comes to connecting with each other and delivering meaningful learning to our students while they are quarantined at home.
