In developed countries, the traditional face-to-face method of teaching is gradually being replaced by online teaching and learning for effectiveness in the educational sector.

The purpose of this study is to make the teaching of Physical Education relevant to the changing advanced technology and the application of ICT to Education which is more than improving learning but has been about transforming it. The emerging challenges of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) to the Physical Educator were also discussed.
