The aim of this study is to visualize examined physical education teachers' IT skills and implementation of IT in homeschooling during the pandemic. The studies ambition is also to visualize if the physical education teachers' IT skills were good enough to conduct the teaching according to the school's curriculum. The survey wants to highlight the reality that physical education teachers experienced during these periods of distance education. The methods are a mixed methods based on an interpretivist approach, which means it stands between the hard data of positivism and the interpretations and understanding of hermeneutics in text. The essay is based on an already existing theoretical framework which the collected empirical evidence is presented against. The empirics were collected through online survey in Facebook groups and through emails to PE teachers. The total number of intermediaries is 50 PE teachers. The theoretical framework is based on the frame factor theory, developed by Dahllöf & Lundgren (2014) The results of the study show that the physical education teachers largely had sufficient IT knowledge to conduct homeschooling. IT support from the school was available to most of the teachers and if they had problems, it was mostly with group division, internet connection, screen sharing and the audio. Most teachers had to change their lesson planning and several parts of the curriculum suffered, mostly movement and friluftsliv. The teaching was more theoretically based with focus on health and lifestyle. If movement was taught, it was mostly dance and individualized training based on strength and conditioning. This type of teaching often took place through platforms such as Youtube and Runkeeper. The conclusion is that many teachers without ICT education have completed homeschooling on their own through their own ability. The teaching has suffered from the pandemic and teachers consider that they lost assessment data and student contact.
