If you are still considering how to integrate some of the Olympic
ideals into your classes, here are two excellent resources:
- Olympic
Education is meant to be a deliberate approach
to people of all ages and nationalities with the aim of promoting
and enhancing the Olympic universal ideals.
- The
Virtual
Library for the Olympics based at the University
of South Australia has an incredible wealth of resources.
PELINKS4U welcomes
articles, letters, ideas, conference dates and reports, suggestions
for links and any suggestions for site improvements. Help to support
quality physical education by contributing to this site.

Over 1000 visitors in just one day! That's how many people
saw last week's new and improved PELINKS4U the second day it appeared
online.
This week we once again have three separate sections. Please

so please send us ideas you'd like to share with your colleagues.
Our ability to produce this resource depends on your support.
