The gamebike is a piece of exercise equipment that is attached to a video game or computer. The game begins by the person pedaling the bike and the game play stops is the person stops exercising. The game usually is a racing game in which the person is a bike rider and he/she competes against other racers in the game. The object of the game is to finish the race in the highest position possible but the ultimate goal of the gamebike is to encourage children to get and stay active. The sportwall is an electronic wall with pressure sensors located in target areas that light up. When a student sees a light come on, he/she hits the target as quickly as he/she can. With the sportwall, a student can improve reaction time and hand-eye coordination. A common way teachers use this technology is in a relay form which is fine, although there are a lot of students standing around in this way. I would suggest that there is a circuit setup so that the maximum number of students can be active at one time.

Technology can be used to create an effective learning experience by incorporating games that students play on a regular basis into the classroom. This teacher has utilized a program that is like "Guitar Hero" and used it into her music class. This program gives feedback to the students and shows them what they have done correctly and where they can improve in their playing.
