Adapted
- What are some activities that work exceptionally well for specific
disabilities? (For example, does wheel-chair basketball work best
for students in wheel-chairs? Or is there a certain activity that
students with Autism tend to enjoy more than others?) Or, are
all activities equally accepted by students with special needs
in general? Please answer in the forum. |

Coaching
- Now with football, golf, cross country, and volleyball ending,
basketball starting players are making the shift from football
to basketball. Do you believe that athletes should be attending
basketball practice and conditioning if they are involved in a
spring sport? Should the player be punished because one-sport
basketball players are not playing a fall sport and showing up
to only basketball practice? Do you think that the coaches should
put aside their multi-sport athletes for the lone athletes of
their sport? I see a lot of this during football and basketball
seasons. What do you think? Please share in the forum. |

Elementary
- Elementary school age is so young and impressionable. My hope
is to create games that students will want to continue to play
outside of the classroom, but I need help on getting started with
the list of fun games. What are some games that could involve
everyone that would make the students want to go home and continue
to play? Please share in the forum. |

Health,
Fitness & Nutrition - FAKE BABIES: Do you think the
sending of fake babies mimicking real babies home with students
is a good idea? I took one home and this baby cried forever, but
all I had to do was either change its cloth diaper or feed it,
and it would stop. The older versions would turn off by the turning
of a key. How is that real? I think they are a slight eye opener
for students, but they are nothing like a real baby. If only I
could turn my nephew off by turning a key... Please share in the
forum. |

Interdisciplinary
- There has been talk about snowboarding in PE, but what
about wake
boarding and other water sports? Does anyone know of any school
that offers any of these, or has there been attempts? Or, is it
too much of a liability and risk along with too much trouble with
boats, equipment, and other factors that might hinder this type
of activity? Please share. |

Secondary
-
In my high school phys. ed. class,
we did a lot of co-ed. activities. I remember several of the
girls in my class standing around and not being active. When
the class wasn't co-ed., these same girls did participate.
I'm looking for
suggestions on motivating them to be more active, and to be
less intimidated by the boys. Or, is it better to have a second
option to the competitive sports games, that would be more suitable
for those (boys and girls) who aren't as willing to participate?
Please share in the forum.

Technology
- In one of my college level courses we are starting to work with
pedometers. I have heard of them, seen people wearing them, but
I have never used one myself. This being because in my high school
PE classes we were stuck in the same routine each year - Basketball,
Volleyball, Soccer, Tennis/Softball. Pedometers count "step
count," so what I want to know is how would you incorporate
pedometers into your classes if you had to stick with that same
curriculum that I had in my high school because of limited equipment?
