A New Me: With this edition, you will be viewing a
new style of column offering from me. As I start my second
year as an IDPE editor, I'm following through on talks PE Links
people had at AAHPERD '02 in San Diego. Briefly, we decided
that section editors would be responsible for creating fewer columns
per year but produce a higher quality product for readers.
We were tasked with producing columns that adhered to a thematic
thread both within and across the section(s) and provided meatier
substance (i.e., fewer links and more thoughts committed to virtual
paper). To this end, I strived to assemble a column that capitalizes
on the holiday and vacation themes that permeate December teaching,
and although providing fewer nuggets, ensuring that each section
entry is at least 24-carats in idea value to you. I hope you
notice the difference and that you let me know of any ideas or topics
you'd like to share or have me share with you. See you next
year :-}
