Podcasting can be a great way to reach your students outside of your classroom.
For example, my assistant coach and I created a podcast that can go out to friends and family that allows them to stay updated on the world of golf at Meadow Creek High School. They are able to see how their friends and family members have done and here recaps of the meets that we took part in.

Google Docs
Google Docs are a great resource to have and use within the classroom. Just think about it. If your computer crashes you will still have all of your documents saved. It is free. It is easy to use. It is very user friendly. And most of all, if you are used to using Microsoft office it is very similar to that.
It would be an easy way to have your students work together and not have to worry about who has what software. One of the biggest problems I have when I send out emails with attachments is people writing back saying that they do not have that software to be able to open it up.
Google Docs help in many different ways and can be great to get all your kids using.

Webquest
What a great way to communicate with other educators in our field to see if they have advise or just want to use the information you have for another activity.
You can check out my site that was designed to help brake down the teaching of how to shoot a basketball. Feel free to check out my site and see a good way to shoot a basketball and teach others how to shoot a basketball here is my site on B-E-E-F shooting technique:

Google App's
There are so many ways that we as educators can use these applications in order to create an environment that will lead to our students doing better and our classrooms being much more organized.
Google Calendar for instance is great for keeping a schedule up and ready for you to stay organized.
Personally, I use iGoggle already and love the fact that it can keep us up to date on what is happening with the news and emails all right there in front of yourself. In the classroom you could put up podcast for the students to use as resources for homework and have them all signed into iGoogle on there own and that stuff will pop right up for them.
Picasa can be used greatly in the PE department. you could have pictures showing proper form so that when the students are practicing they can do so right at home and see what it should look like.
And Knol is a way that the students can get their own thoughts out there. It is great for students to realize that they can teach others. As a basketball coach I always end up teaching my athletes the way to teach others because as soon as they can teach others the better they will be at that skill and the more knowledge they will have.

D2L
Sites, such as, D2L can be so useful for everyone who takes the time to get a little bit more comfortable with them . D2L makes it easier in the long run on both the teacher and the student.
Let's think about it like this. Student don't have to print things off and teachers can keep all of their files on the computer. To me this would be ideal as an educator.
D2L is great at allowing us students to understand where we are grading wise and where we are in the class. These sites can only benefit all who use them.

Wiki's
I love all of these Wiki's that are out there. What a great tool in this day of technology. These are things that all students will get benefits from.
Think about how this will give the students opportunities to work together on projects while from the comfort of their own home. If anything their parents will love that they will not have to tool them around to get a group assignment done.
As far as places like wikipedia are also great for researching. It allows students a chance to learn by reading and then reading to prove what the read right.
All around great way of using technology to learn.

RSS
This can be very useful. The RSS Feeds allow us the capability to be aware of what is going on in real time. It makes it much easier to stay in touch with others and also to see what they want to know about you. This can be very useful in keeping up with students.
The more that we can comunicate with our students the better off we will be. We, as Physical Educators, need to be energizing the next generation. We need to be showing them how much fun physical activity can be. As the saying goes, "Out of sight, out of Mind." What better way to keep our students active outside of the classroom than keeping them involved in learning more about different types of activities that can excite them.
