5. Using the ICT tools for promotion of the new sports in and outside school

It is common belief nowadays that ICT has a good effect on the teaching and learning of PE. This step aims at familiarizing PE teachers with common applications, such as email, Word, and Excel for everyday administration, as well as Power Point and video analysis which are getting more and more popular as tools for teaching, and considered to be the principal ICT components of PE. This step will provide you with examples of ICT applications that can be used in physical education and valuable information on how to use them.

PE teachers will find valuable tips on how to:
• use/ create blogs, access forums and websites, publish info, photos and videos;
• learn from other schools’ experience (most schools have websites where they post information, presentations and photos on their activities),
• search the internet for information, make on-line contacts
• utilize ICT tools in teaching (webquest, gamification, podcasts, use mobile phones and interactive boards)

Learning Objective

The learning objective of this step is to familiarize PE teachers with common applications, such as email, Word, and Excel as well as Power Point and video analysis and to provide valuable information on how to use them in physical education.
