What I really enjoyed about this article is that I was able to take away how PE educators can take away from the modern world of technology and apply it to lesson plans in the classroom.  Growing up, it was indicated that video games are setting a standard that kids are becoming lazy and non active.

With todays technology and use of mapping of the human body, video game systems are able to pick up body movement and are also able to give feedback.  Games such as Dance Dance Revolution, and systems such as the Nintendo Wii involve movement of the body which in turn results in physical activity.  The use of technology though does not stop there though.  With many main steam video devices available to all via internet students can visually see what and how mechanics of a physically ability work.

Besides videos student can watch, they are now able to access their own records by simply wearing modern and technology enhanced watches.  Pedometers and trackers are of great use, and now many watches are engineered to obtain physical activity and how the body is processing progress and offers quick feedback on the activity at hand.

With such technology, only those who are mentally able to understand it is it best suited for.  To ask a group of elementary students to track such facts may seem unfeasible.  But for middle school and high school students, in which the culture and socials trend is shifting these sort of devices may be best suited.
