ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at some of the ways in which you, as a PE teacher, can use technology to improve your method of working.

Many technological devices have been used in the past by PE teachers to improve the quality of their work. An early example is when loud hailers were replaced in the early 1930s by amplifiers to announce results at school sports days. Other useful innovations over the years have been the slide projector, the film projector, the record player, the film loop, television and the overhead projector. More recently we have had the cassette, compact disc and video players and, of course, computer technology. Undoubtedly the future will bring further advances.
