Business and Information Technology Education is a broad curriculum in North Carolina middle and high schools. This trail suggests technology tools and resources that may be integrated to meet global outcomes of the curriculum and to address goals of specific Business and Information Technology Education courses, including Accounting, Computer Applications, Networking, E-Commerce, Small Business Entrepreneurship, and more. Where the curriculum focuses on tools, Business and Information Technology Education is particularly suitable for interdisciplinary projects with other subject areas.

This trail was created for students in the technology integration class ECI 511 at North Carolina State University. It provides an introduction to the range of tools and resources available to support physical education and health. As shown in the Roblyer text on page 398, technology is commonly used in PE and health to help students monitor and improve motor skill performance, shape beliefs and behaviors toward proper physical activity, assess personal health goals, and obtain valid health information. Many opportunities exist for interdisciplinary projects with science and math, as students study the body and health trends.
