1. Design, Development, and Implementation of Student Learning Activities That Integrate Information Technology
Explanation:
In 21st-century physical education, integrating information and instructional technology into the learning experience is not optional—it is essential for engaging diverse learners, personalizing instruction, promoting data-driven practice, and building students’ digital literacy alongside physical literacy. When done effectively, technology bridges the gap between movement and academic rigor, aligning with both PE-specific standards (e.g., SHAPE America) and digital learning standards (e.g., ISTE).
PE teachers are expected to design lessons that:
- Use technology to improve skill acquisition and knowledge retention
- Reflect inclusive practices and universal design for learning (UDL)
- Support differentiation, formative assessment, and student agency
Alignment with Key Standards and Frameworks:
- SHAPE America Standards – Emphasis on standard 2 (understanding movement concepts), standard 3 (achieving fitness), and standard 5 (recognizing the value of physical activity for enjoyment, challenge, and social interaction)
- ISTE Standards for Students – Digital tools that promote creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and digital citizenship
- District/School Tech Plans – Integration with existing platforms (e.g., Google Workspace, iPads), accessibility policies, and blended learning initiatives
