Technology Plan

Currently the blend of technology and Physical Education are worlds apart. There have been improvements with the addition of projectors, cameras and sound system in the gym but without the integration of computers, advances in incorporating technology are nonexistent. The only way I am currently able to incorporate technology into my class is buy bringing them to the computer lab during Adaptive Physical Education. I have done this with my students several times to work on the basic webquest I assigned but it takes away from time allotted towards working on each students IEP goals in class. For these reasons my current technology goals for my classes is very limited. I will be setting a goal for myself that includes having students complete one webquest per trimester. I also have set a goal to update my web sight every two weeks. My final goal comes in the form of a grant. Currently Playstation and Xbox gaming platforms have out a game called Dance Dance Revolution. It has been approved by the national fitness board as an activity that promotes health and fitness. I will be writing a grant with the assistance of two other Adaptive Physical Education teachers to try and purchase three gaming systems with Dance Dance Revolution. There are currently several schools that have them in place in the district.
