They can change the way educators teach and students learn, but it is clear that technology is under used in health and physical education curricula. Computers,educational software, productivity tools, as well as video, can enhance learning for many students by providing real-life experiences that can be individualized and be meaningful. Integrating technology into health and physical education curricula helps educators meet several goals of the Sunshine State Standards and of the President's Technological Initiative. At the same time, it improves and supports instruction, individualizes learning and it motivates students. Well-designed courses that integrate technology provide new and challenging learning experiences.

This in itself can improve instruction by freeing up a teacher's time. Information retrieved from the Internet or the World Wide Web provides diverse learners with the accessibility they once lacked. Technology assists teachers in making the abstract more concrete by creating connections to real-world tasks.
