Learning@Web.Sites
"This site is primarily for senior high school educators who would like
to enhance their curriculum and instructions using the Internet."
Learning@Web.Sites is a nicely organized virtual library of briefly annotated links to useful educational sites. Coverage covers: Art, Computing,
Counseling, Business, Mass Media, Business, Communication, English,
Physical Education, Special Education, and more.
School Library Media Activities
Library Media Activities is a site that provides integrated lessons plans and suggestions for teaching library and information skills. These activities are provided by LMS Associations and posted online by the good people of AskERIC. Subject areas include art, guidance, health, mathematics, music, physical education for just about every K-12 grade level. None of these lessons
require the Internet in order to be used effectively, meaning you can just print
and go!

700 Club
Students are assigned to read and review 7 sports items located in the library sports section.
If this task is accomplished, seven days are earned for which the student can
check out PE equipment for use during recess.
Story Board Chart
The chart is located in the room, and vocabulary words and fitness terms
are continuously updated on the chart.
Sports Jobs: Career to Work
Students complete an application process which requires them to solicit two letters of recommendation (from 1 adult, and 1 student).
The application includes the following items:
1. Name
2. Classroom address
3. Qualifications
4. Experience for the job
5. Why should you be hired
If the student is selected, they are able to referee and call the play-by-play of selected games. Furthermore, the student is invited to attend
a high school sporting event and invite the high school.
Following the student's visit to the high school, they will write an article about their experience. The best submitted articles are published in the school newspaper.
This activity is kicked off by having a local sports writer come and give a presentation about his career path.

Would you like to reduce unnecessary email, but still stay professionally connected?
Instead of using our listservs to discuss topics, start posting Interdisciplinary PE questions to the PE-Forum, then email your favorite listserv to invite comments ON THE FORUM rather than to everyone on the email list!
The PE-Forum is easy-to-use once you complete a first time registration. Check it out!
