Class 1A Little River won in two sets for its third-straight championship In a rare battle of unbeatens this late in the season Centralia got 14 points from senior Oen Deters in the third quarter to claim the title 50-43 “I give all the credit to Little River in volleyball and basketball Ever since our freshman year when we lost on this court but Little River bounced back in the second quarter Junior Arika Feldman and Centralia sophomore Hayden Kramer traded early threes then Feldman added another to trim the Redskin deficit to 18-14 just 90 seconds into the frame Little River juniors Adelynne Strecker and Evie Look and sophomore Saelyn Raleigh also hit threes in the quarter But the big play was actually a series of plays A Feldman steal resulted in an offensive board from junior Havana Olander on the Redskin end but a hustle play kept the ball on the Little RIver end Feldman capitalized with a trey to give Little River its first lead of the night as 22-21 Little River got an early baseline runner from Feldman before Deters hit back-to-back threes and scored four more points from the free throw line Deters’ 10-straight points put Centralia ahead 36-28 late in the third and the Panthers never trailed again “The third quarter is always going to be ours,” said Deters “We’re going to come out of the locker room and make adjustments We knew the second half was going to be ours and that’s what we did.” The offense slowed in the fourth quarter with just three combined field goals Centralia sophomore Keelyn Rempe contributed the only two baskets for the Panthers Little River got a late three from Look but it was too little I don’t know who was guarding me (Strecker) but that was the defense I’ve seen all year Feldman finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds for LIttle River Little River ends its season at 23-1 and loses just one senior scoring 14 of her game-high 29 points in the pivotal third quarter She finished 5 of 7 from behind the arc and 10 of 14 from the free throw line She also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists Gibbs added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Panthers Kramer finished with five points and five boards Centralia ends its championship run at 26-0 Olpe senior Dexton Hoelting knows a thing or two about winning state titles As the sixth man on a loaded Eagle team as a freshman he played a role in a basketball title that year and also won a football championship Olpe just missed a state trophy the next year and Hoelting sat with an injury as the Eagles finished third last year Hoelting scored 24 points to lead the top-seeded Eagles past No “We’ve prided ourselves all year on not letting the other team get to 40 because we believe we can score 40 points,” Hoelting said “We came out and played hard-fought defense and that’s what wins championships That’s what we did and that’s how we got the win.” Hoelting did his part offensively with nine points in the first quarter Those points were huge to offset eight points from South Central junior Jack Herd A steal from senior Jamie Gardea led to one Herd basket that gave the Timberwolves an 11-6 edge early Hoelting answered with a pair of jumpers and a 3-pointer Free throws from sophomore Brecken McGuire gave the Eagles a 15-14 lead after one The Eagle defense picked up in the second quarter allowing just one South Central field goal from sophomore Easton Huck and four points from McGuire helped the Eagles to a 23-17 lead at the break Offenses remained largely stagnant in the third quarter with a combined 15 points A 3-pointer from McGuire kept Olpe’s lead at 26-21 but a basket and foul from Herd and a layup from Gardea cut the gap to 26-25 late in the quarter McGuire added a jumper to help the Eagles stay ahead 28-27 with a quarter to play Hoelting went scoreless in the middle frames That changed in the fourth with three field goals Hoelting had a stretch of six-straight shots from the line in less than 60 seconds He added two more with just under a minute to play to cap his senior finale with 24 points that included 12-of-12 shooting from the line and 2-of-4 shooting from behind the arc To finish a game out is definitely one of the best feelings ever.” and Ko’Rel Robinson grabbed seven boards to go with his two points Olpe finishes its championship season at 24-2 South Central battled through 18 turnovers and some key misses around the rim Herd finished with 16 points and six rebounds and senior Jase Rutherford added six points and six boards The Timberwolves finish the year at 23-3 and say goodbye to just two seniors in Gardea and Rutherford Metrics details Digital education emphasizes the use of technology to enhance and transform teaching promoting the improvement of instructional models It is poised to become a significant driving force in advancing high-quality educational development such as disadvantages of digital technology resources opportunities and challenges of the three Online physical education(OLPE) teaching modes–Edmodo Zoom and Google Meet–through literature review mathematical statistics analysis and SWOT analysis It explores the international OLPE teaching concept aiming to integrate digital sports teaching within the OLPE model with current traditional teaching practices and to develop a paradigm better aligned with modern educational methods The results revealed that based on constructivist learning theory and situational learning and the integration of OLPE resources could help advance the development of digital-physical education teaching The study offers valuable insights into the challenges and disadvantages of OLPE in digital education It will provide both theoretical and practical guidance for advancing digital teaching practices This innovation significantly contributed to the rapid development of distance education The 1980s and 1990s saw tremendous innovation and expansion in online education and educational networks followed by the emergence of desktop video conferencing the scope of OLPE education also includes didactic Buschner analyze the suitability of OLPE across grade levels They suggest that OLPE is highly suitable for elementary school though opinions differ for middle school students while others believe that self-disciplined school students in this age group can benefit these studies emphasize the potential of innovative technologies to advance educational outcomes in both vocational and higher education contexts and Edmodo highlights their complementary roles in OLPE Zoom and Google Meet facilitate real-time interaction and synchronous teaching which are essential for demonstrating physical skills and providing immediate feedback supports asynchronous learning through content delivery thereby ensuring continuity beyond live sessions these platforms form a comprehensive digital teaching ecosystem that addresses both synchronous and asynchronous needs in OLPE This integrated approach supports diverse teaching paradigms in physical education The review revealed that existing studies have predominantly focused on enhancing educational and training technologies to improve students’ learning outcomes and skills These studies have utilized modern technologies to increase the interactivity and practicality of education They have also addressed tailored solutions for specific subject areas Identified Gap: Despite advancements in online learning and teaching technologies the contribution of platforms such as Edmodo and Google Meet to physical education has not been thoroughly examined Research Objective: This study aims to explore the advantages and challenges of OLPE in physical education with a particular focus on the dilemmas related to digital technology resources The goal is to provide both theoretical and practical directions for the development and implementation of OLPE in physical education The research began with a literature search using SCOPUS case study research was used as the specific empirical research method The study analyzed institutions with at least one year of experience using the platforms and tracked 250 physical education teachers from Asia and examination of their perspectives on OLPE were conducted to explore its advantages No questionnaire survey was used in this study.” Situational Learning lends depth and credibility to the advantages of empirical OLPE Constructivism in OLPE redefines the roles of teachers and students emphasizing student-centered learning and recognizing students as developing constructing a cohesive blend of sports theory and skill practice thereby maximizing their initiative in learning constructivist teaching theory encourages students to move beyond traditional educational concepts challenging conventional learning constraints and establishing a new approach to learning and aims to stimulate intrinsic motivation and combining theoretical knowledge with practical sports skills to build a new knowledge framework OLPE’s foundation in constructivist learning theory asserts that knowledge is actively constructed by learners rather than transmitted by teachers Learners build new experiences based on prior knowledge with guidance OLPE satisfies the environmental requirements of constructivist learning theory Constructivist theory highlights using learning scenarios and other environmental elements to boost students’ enthusiasm It also advocates using competition as a learning catalyst: competition serves as a demonstration platform A report by SHAPE America (2016) indicates that only 19 of 44 states require certified teachers to teach OLPE courses while nearly half allow individuals without physical education certification to teach these courses there is no unified standard for OLPE qualifications Daum and Buschner (2012) noted that OLPE course content is typically limited More than half of OLPE courses at the middle school level reportedly fail to meet national physical education standards (Daum & Buchner Addressing these challenges requires a foundation in science and technology as the primary productive force The focus also reflects the intensifying international competition for high-quality talent and technological leadership and Google Meet–face unprecedented development opportunities Edmodo improves the real-time teaching experience by integrating video and interactive functions making it a more versatile platform that meets a broad range of teaching needs; Zoom has developed into a comprehensive teaching platform by strengthening course management and resource-sharing functions offering a one-stop solution from course management to real-time interaction Google Meet has the potential to further optimize video quality and interactive tools improving the overall user experience and meeting diverse teaching needs with robust technical support from Google with data breaches posing significant threats to the security of personal and social data Tripathi (2020) highlighted that data privacy breaches can adversely impact education and generate negative public sentiment Lee (2022) analyzed the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica incident demonstrating how privacy breaches can lead to heightened public concern and fear Lorayne (2020) further emphasized the prevalence of digital privacy issues noting that many companies continue to collect and sell consumer data without explicit consent An indirect factor affecting Edmodo’s use is facility availability Limited access to necessary hardware equipment or stable internet connections can hinder students’ online activities For those in rural areas or regions with varying levels of communication service insufficient information flow can become a significant barrier Edmodo challenge: Enhancing real-time interaction capabilities while preserving its robust course management functions some students face challenges due to limited computer skills Zoom challenge: Improving course management and resource-sharing capabilities for physical education without compromising its video conferencing strengths Google Meet challenge: Strengthening interactive features while maintaining accessibility to better meet the diverse needs physical education instruction Standardize technology and strengthen professional ethics it is essential to enhance teachers’ application skills and adapt both their roles and those of students to the evolving educational landscape Teachers must possess a strong foundation in OLPE-specific professional knowledge and become proficient in using new teaching tools and methods When designing teaching activities that incorporate OLPE technology educational objectives should be seamlessly integrated into the application scenarios to ensure that technology serves to enhance the educational process Teachers should utilize VR and AR technologies to create immersive learning experiences enabling students to practice sports skills in OLPE simulation environments deepen their understanding of sports theory educators should guide students in using OLPE tools for research and study and effective interaction with OLPE technology Establish a secure data system for school sports strengthen self-discipline among practitioners Constructivist Learning Theory and Situational Learning: Frameworks for Effective OLPE Constructivist learning theory emphasizes student-centered learning where students actively construct knowledge rather than passively receiving information this is operationalized by encouraging students to integrate sports theory with practical skills thereby fostering autonomy and intrinsic motivation Diagram of the theoretical model applied to OLPE The theoretical model for OLPE integrates constructivist and Situational Learning depicted as two overlapping circles in a Venn diagram The constructivist circle emphasizes student-centered learning while the Situational Learning circle underscores the importance of real-world context The intersection of these circles represents shared objectives and facilitating the application of knowledge in practical settings This model highlights the synergy between the two theories illustrating how their integration informs the design of OLPE and application-oriented learning environment that effectively bridges theory and practice Theoretical framework of physical education teaching model in OLPE environment Romo (2021) analyzed students’ opinions on the use of Google Meet in physical education courses and the results showed that it has high accessibility and effectiveness Lobo (2022) used the technology acceptance model to analyze students’ acceptance of Google Meet for physical education courses revealing the factors affecting students’ acceptance Hilal (2022) evaluated the educational performance of Google Classroom and Zoom during COVID-19 through SWOT analysis and De Lone-Mc Lean model and the results showed that Google Classroom performed better than Zoom.ЯHКOBEЦЬ (2021) discussed the use of Zoom for online courses in Ukrainian universities and versatility in supporting a variety of communication activities The SWOT analysis of OLPE reveals that the technical and ethical enhancement of digital teaching applications promotes a balanced understanding of both the current state and future potential thereby ensuring the development of robust and effective strategies for success The analysis identifies specific advantages of platforms such as Edmodo (course management) and Google Meet (theoretical facilitation) the study integrates theoretical perspectives to elucidate OLPE’s benefits in fostering student-centered learning and contextual applications such as professional training and ethical considerations enriching existing theoretical frameworks and offering refined approaches The actionable insights derived from this analysis provide valuable guidance for policymakers and practitioners enabling them to enhance digital teaching competencies and mitigate potential threats for the sustainable and effective implementation of OLPE and Google Meet in OPLE reveals that each platform has unique advantages and disadvantages The survey of educators revealed that OLPE contributed to technology fatigue a lack of emotional connection between teachers and students and a decrease in student physical activity While digital teaching platforms face challenges related to technology they also offer significant advantages and potential Zoom and Google Meet are particularly effective in enabling real-time whereas Edmodo facilitates asynchronous learning by offering tools for content delivery Educators should select or combine these platforms flexibly based on specific teaching needs to maximize their instructional impact It is anticipated that with advances in digital teaching technology and platform functionality OLPE will further enhance teaching quality and support students’ holistic development The limitations of this study include: (i) Regional and Geographical Constraints: The three digital media platforms are primarily prevalent in English-speaking countries and are less commonly used in non-English-speaking countries the review focused exclusively on documents in Chinese and English excluding those in other significant languages which may have limited the comprehensiveness of the analysis with a particular focus on hybrid teaching models that integrate both online and offline elements This approach would allow students to acquire theoretical knowledge and view technical demonstrations online before engaging in hands-on practice Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were
