As a former Elementary Physical Education teacher, I know firsthand the benefits of using technology to make my gym more interactive. Even though I now teach older students - the power of a podcast is still relevant. Using interactive podcasts in the physical education classroom is a management tool- it frees me up to work more closely with individual students and lessens in-class physical demands. Using podcasts in P.E. classes also helps to offer variety of activities to stimulate movement and activity for kids, stimulates creativity and teamwork, and most importantly promotes fitness for life.
While you can find video and audio podcasts for the gym from others, they may not be customized to the age level of your learners or skills you want to develop. Luckily Apple tools make it so easy to create your own!
Download this short, getting-started book from Apple Books to learn more about why podcasting in PE works, and how to create audio and video podcasts with Apple tools such as Voice Memos, GarageBand, iMovie, and Clips. Whether you use them solely in your school or publish them through Apple Podcasts like https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasting-in-physical-education/id1452347127, podcasts can be a powerful tool in every Physical Education Teacher’s toolbox!

Very cool Kevin - super update to your OBT! It’s so nice to get tips and lessons for physical education classes on how teachers can use technology to enhance skills and engagement. I often get asked about this. I downloaded your book and it’s on my shelf!
