Is there any classes out there that are teaching the wheelchair
sports in any form to their students? I'm a big fan of Murderball
(Wheelchair Rugby) and Wheelchair basketball and wish I would
have had the opportunity to learn them in my high school even
though I don't meet the qualifications to actually play. I watched
them for the first time when I got to college and was in shock
at how much I liked each. Please post in the forum.

Coaching
- I am looking to teach elementary physical education in the near
future. In my opinion I think competition in a necessary part
of the class. I was wondering what some other opinions on this
are, and if you think that competition should not be a big part
in physical education class then how do you as a teacher motivate
the students that want to compete at everything? Please post in
the
forum. |

Elementary

My county administration has recently informed us that all of
our schools have to take down all of our climbing ropes. I believe
this is due to a liability or pending lawsuit. What can be done
about this? Please post in the forum. |

Do you believe that physical educators should spend class time
trying to integrate academic content into their lessons or should
they focus on teaching skills and developing health-related fitness?

Secondary - I
am a Physical Education major wishing to teach and coach at the
secondary level. A problem that I have noticed in other school
systems is that some schools offer a Weight Training class in
place of their Physical Education class. I am in support of teaching
weight training into the Physical Education curriculum, but am
unsure about the idea of giving the choice to students about replacing
Physical Education with strictly weight training. I was wondering
what are some other thoughts on this topic. Please post in the
forum.

Technology
- I
am currently working on a research project involving web-based
and multimedia project-based learning. I am trying to
answer the question "How effective are web-based and multimedia
based technology tools in teaching gross motor movements,
and how well do they help relate the importance of these
skills to life-long activity and health?" My test subjects
are 3rd graders at my school. If anyone has any experience
with web-based lessons or multimedia projects in physical
education I would sure like to hear about it? Please post
in the forum.
