Too often, conversations about technology in PE focus on the latest gadgets or “must-have” apps. But real impact comes when we step back and ask: Why are we using this tool? What value does it actually add to student learning?
In this 30-minute session, Jarrod Robinson (The PE Geek) shares the 4 guiding principles that have shaped his work with thousands of teachers across 30+ countries. You’ll discover how to filter the noise, avoid the “shiny object syndrome,” and make technology a meaningful part of your PE program without losing sight of what matters most — movement and learning.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why good teaching always comes first (and where tech fits in).
- How to avoid the shiny object trap and choose tools with purpose.
- Why embracing failure with tech is essential for growth.
- The critical difference between PE and sport — and why it changes how we view technology.
- A simple filtering process to decide whether a tool is worth your time.
Whether you’re new to tech in PE or looking to refine your approach, this session will leave you with a clear framework to guide your decisions and inspire confidence in how you use technology.
