Nowadays students are used to using technology unlike 50 years ago when we do not have the technology we have today. If the students worked with what they were familiar with they have a better chance of learning the material the teach puts forth for them to learn and live a healthy active lifestyle.

Microsoft is a great program for the Physical Education teachers to make different types of schedules for the students. During the course of the year the students will be going through a weight room program and individually will get a workout printout from excel that they can follow for the 3 weeks we will be in the weight room.

Wii Fit is a program that is run on a Nintendo Wii which is a video game system. Wii Fit is a new program that sparks interest in the students because a lot of students play video games in their free time. The Wii Fit allows them to work with something they are familiar with and work on their physical fitness at the same time.

Sony VPLDX11 is a mobile projector that not only can the Physical Education teachers use in different rooms but can be used by other teachers as well. Lessons that are made by a teacher on a computer that they want to display to the whole classroom can be done by this projector.

Used to make lessons/assessments for classroom. Can be used by students for assignments that are assigned by the Physical Education teacher. Easier for teachers to grade papers so they do not have to take more time to try and figure out what something says.

Can be used by teacher to teach lesson in the Health Classroom. Teacher can assign students to projects that consist of making a PowerPoint project. Students can use PowerPoint to study for test or refer back if they do not remember something that was taught.

When a student feels more comfortable they tend to be more successful. Technology now helps students get more comfortable with writing by doing a number of things to help them along with what they are doing. Such as spell check and also making suggestions as they go on with their project.

Technology has an impact on Physical education by it incorporating what students are used to, to living a healthy active lifestyle. Technology has an impact on Health Education by it being able to further the students learning and advancing their style of work. For the teachers making it an easier job to help the students along with their work/projects.
