Ready, Set, Tech! Many of today’s physical education programs would benefit from a jolt of technology! This active and FUN workshop will show K-12 educators a variety of ways to incorporate the latest and greatest technology “NEW’s” into their programs. SPARK believes technology can motivate and inspire students to participate at higher levels, do their best, and foster more physical activity during and away from PE/PA class. This hands-on workshop will guide physical educators through ways to incorporate meaningful technology into their physical education classes. Participants will explore ways to integrate technology to enhance student learning, maximize teacher efficiency and provide timely and specific feedback through areas of instruction, classroom management, and assessment.
This workshop is tailored for teachers who want to build a positive, well-managed learning environment where every student can thrive. Teachers will learn proven class management strategies for maintaining structure, minimizing disruptions, and keeping students engaged from start to finish. We’ll explore practical techniques for setting clear expectations, using proactive behavior management, and fostering a culture of respect and cooperation. Discover how to adapt these strategies to diverse groups and high-energy settings typical of PE classes. We’ll help transform the classroom management approach and create a space where all students have the opportunity to learn, be active and have fun.
