One traditional audio technology is the compact disk and a newer audio technology is the mp3 player. In both of these cases for a physical education setting I would use them for the appropriate pump up music for my classes. For a fitness class I would get them moving by motivating them with music or I would play relaxing calming music during a yoga unit.

One traditional visual technology I would use would be the overhead projector; I could see myself using it during a health unit to display the body so I could go over the anatomy and bone structure of the human body to my classes.

A more emerging technology would be the DVD's, to change up my fitness unit I would get a DVD of either the P90X workouts or the Insanity workouts and have my students get in lines and follow along with the video while I go around and make sure that they are doing the exercises properly.

Since I want to be a teacher of physical education I would be very content in teaching in a classroom setting that had less technology. My goal as a physical education teacher is to get my students active, get them moving around and improving their fitness. I do not need technology to get that done however with that being said there are some programs in which I would use technology. For instance I would like them to have access to some programs such as excel to keep track of different units that I might be doing such as food intake or laps that they have run. I would not have a whole lot of technology involvment inside of the classroom but outside of it, it could prove to be of great use to help them keep track of categories and school projects.
