Adapted
- I have a question and need some help! I have a student who has
a clubfoot and she has trouble running in P.E. class. It is difficult
when we play any game that involves running. Is there any way
to include her in all activities without pointing out her disability
to the whole class? Are there any stretches or exercises that
would be beneficial to her? Please answer in the forum. |

Coaching
- I think that there has always been the idea the more is better
in everything we do in America. On the other hand I think that
many track athletes are getting injured or peaking/ breaking down,
because they are running too much or trying to run too many meets
in a season. I also feel that a distance runner can not have a
successful cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track season
all in a row. You have to back off and train through at least
one of them. These of course are all my ideas and feelings for
training, but I am open for other suggestions or opinions Please
share in the forum. |

Elementary
- As a PE major one thing that they're stressing is that the students
should be active for at least 50% of the class time. One thing
they say takes up too much time is Management, such as taking
attendance. Any fun, faster, effective ways of taking attendance
in a classroom? Please share in the forum. |

Health,
Fitness & Nutrition - Children seem to crave fast food
these days. Parents may not have time to cook a balanced meal
at home, so fast food is the easy way to feed their kids. As a
future teacher,how do you get your students to understand that
sometimes they may need to take control of their own eating habits?

Interdisciplinary
- I know that when starting a new work out routine, it
can be hard to do because most people want results right away,
and it is not that easy. As future physical educators, we are
going to have overweight children in our classes. We can tell
them how important it is to be physically active and how it will
make them healthier, but unless they see results right away, they
might get discouraged. What do you think would be a good way to
go about handling the discouragement that could potentially face
many overweight students? Please share. |

Secondary
- As a current pe student, I was wondering when and if you ever
learn about some of the non day to day issues a pe teacher may
deal with such as breaking up a fight, dealing with parents etc.
I am excited to learn everything I need to learn about how to
run a class, but what about the real life situations that may
come up? 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? Please
share in the forum.
