Computer-Mediated Communication Facilitating Physical And Health Education Teacher Preparation, Lori Lockyer, Gregg Rowland, John Patterson, Douglas Hearne
Professor Lori Lockyer
In response to the call for integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) within the skills and knowledge-base preparation of physical and health education professionals, this paper outlines the design, development and outcomes associated with two applications.
