Abstract

Education budget limitations have led to a narrowed focus on math and the hard sciences in public schools at the expense of physical education programmes, reducing the amount of exercise time set aside for youth. This reduction is reflected in a growing youth obesity problem that will eventually lead to an expensive health care problem. This paper examines ways in which available technology - specifically a blended learning approach involving multimedia and classic physical education - can be employed to increase student time on task by reducing demonstration and instruction time. It examines criticisms and studies of blended learning and uses these to determine a proper mix of technology and classic instruction that will best make use of available time.
