This essay allows us to reflect on the support of educational technologies in the active methodologies of Gamification and Flipped Classroom that can be used in the subject of Physical Education in school. These methodologies contrast the traditional teaching model and focus on strategies that encourage autonomy, meaningful learning and digital skills. In view of this, the use of educational platforms plays a key role in facilitating technological resources, ensuring that students can participate by increasing motivation (Gamification) or that students can access subject content outside the classroom (Flipped Classroom). From Physical Education it is a great opportunity for teachers to generate innovation in their educational practice, but it is a great challenge for the acquisition of skills that allow the effective use of these active methodologies, thus managing to use elements of innovation in their educational practice.
