Data-driven insights guide educators in tailoring programs to the unique needs of each child, fostering a comprehensive approach to their development. In this presentation, there will be examples of students use technology for ownership over one’s learning through individual choice by interest, self, peer and team assessments, self-feedback, self-video recording, and skill, routine and gameplay development as well as using devices for observations, additional instruction, skill demonstrations, sharing of student success through communication with parents and student physical activity tracking through heart rate monitors and other tools. These technology tools are for more than just PE and are able to be adapted to PA and other educational contents provide opportunities for whole child growth and development. Explore how innovation in PE and PA can shape a generation of individuals who are not only physically active but also socially adept, emotionally resilient, and intellectually engaged while developing a healthy active lifestyle.
