The more I see in relation to iPhone apps the more I like it as an educational tool. Go to this link http://thepegeek.com/2009/10/21/how-to-make-powerful-virtual-learning-tours/ to watch a video explanation of an iPhone app called Runkeeper. Has more applications than for just PE - SOSE, English, Science, Maths etc.
Checkout this link http://thepegeek.com/2010/06/28/two-essential-iphone-apps-for-phys-ed-teachers/ to see two apps used for tracking students attendance in class and recording observational data on students. They are looked at from a PE teachers point of view i.e. don't need pen/paper/diary etc to take roll or record observational data during lessons which are not based in a classroom, just need an iPhone.
Both these links are to Jarrod Robinson's blog www.thepegeek.com. A great blog about IT in education with a PE focus.

Ask 500 People
A great site which allows you to ask a question and then get feedback from all around the world. Here is a question I put up that one of my Stage 1 PE students is currently asking in an issues study. When term 4 starts I'll see if she wants to use the data in her work.

What a great way for individual students or a class to find out how people around the world feel about an issue.

Mr Robbo PE Geek
At the Primary School ACHPER conference at Flinders Uni I attended a talk by Shane Pill on technologies in PE. He mentioned a guy, Mr Robbo (Jared Robinson), who was a bit of a guru with IT and PE. The link to his site is on this blog under Teacher made Blogs and Websites.
What a great site it is with some really thought provoking posts. I found this great quote directed at those teachers who don't want to change and develop their skills and knowledge as the teaching landscape changes around them. The quote from Jared Robinson below is in relation to Web 2.0 tools and the different ways students are choosing to learn.

".....its a teachers role to promote lifelong learning, but isnt it somewhat hypocritical to not expect the same of ourselves".
