| NASPE,
Sportime & PELINKS4U Collaborate to Create New NASPE-Forum
This month I am delighted to announce
the release of the NASPE-Forum,
a new
national discussion forum that will focus on physical education
and
sport issues.
The NASPE-Forum has been designed to complement NASPE-Talk, the
existing daily NASPE listserv. Specifically, the goal of the NASPE-Forum
is to provide a location for in-depth discussion of issues. The
Forum is divided into several sections by main themes, including
Elementary PE, Secondary PE, Coaching & Sports, and more. Within
each of these sections readers can pose questions, and conduct ongoing
discussion on professional issues.
Because the Forum is organized into separate sections, readers
can choose to read all postings, or only those of personal interest.
Especially helpful is the ability to create a personal reader profile
so that, if you wish, you can be notified about responses to questions
you pose, or new postings in your areas of interest.
The NASPE-Forum is open to everyone, and can be easily accessed
from any PELINKS4U section page, from the NASPE and Sportime web
sites and, of course, from a bookmark you might like to create in
your browser.
This month we have posted discussion questions on each of our section
pages. We encourage you to express your thoughts on these questions
by simply clicking the question. You'll be taken directly to the
NASPE-Forum where you can respond. Alternatively, you are welcome
to post your own questions, or thoughts, on topics that might interest
others.
We hope you'll give the NASPE-Forum a try, and use it not only
as a place for discussion, but as postings accumulate, as a location
to find information and to direct others who might have questions
on topics that have been extensively discussed.
Paula Summit, the New York State 2004 AHPERD President, has generously
agreed to become the first NASPE-Forum moderator. Paula looks forward
to answering any questions and seeing your postings.
Please join us in helping to make the NASPE-Forum a huge success.
Visit the Forum
to take a look and join the discussion.
