Integrating Web-assessment Technology in Health and Physical Education

Abstract

The integration of technology is gaining recognition as an effective teaching method in health and physical education (HPE). While technological infrastructure and equipment limitations have been a huge obstacle to the integration of technology, the “bring your own device” initiatives help with that challenge. Infrastructure and opportunities for technology adoption are progressing, so that educators have a better chance to utilize technology in their own teaching practices. Given that the integration of technology into the HPE field is still in its infancy, it is recommended to provide educators with more information about instructional technologies. The purpose of this article is to introduce a web assessment tool called Kahoot, and to describe its pedagogical applications in HPE settings to facilitate the adequate integration of technology.
