Wonderful PE Resource Site
EDiPHY: EDucation in the PHYsical web site http://ediphy.wisc.edu/
To instruct especially so as to encourage physical, intellectual, moral, or spiritual improvement through Physical Education.
Physical Education (PE) can teach lots more than just how to throw a ball. As you probably already know, there is a lot of social interaction in the typical PE class, and that offers a perfect opportunity for kids to grow in their ability to develop positive social skills. In addition, PE challenges kids to think differently; to make connections between what they have learned in the classroom and how it is applied in a real-life setting. For example: learning about balance and measurement in science takes on a whole new meaning when you are trying to create a perfectly balanced pyramid in your PE class!
More than just a listing of activities, this site also offers resources that can help you to be a better teacher, student or supporter of PE in your school.
So that's what this site is all about...helping us all to make the very most out of the opportunities we have to educate in the physical, to EDiPHY our kids!
Using the Site
To help you find what you want most easily, EDiPHY makes a distinction between Activities and Resources, as follows:
Activity - records that involve exercise, whether physical or otherwise; e.g. various games, personal interactions, etc.
Resource - records meant for reference and information; e.g. PE funding resources, bibliographies, etc.
Thanks so much for the positive review. Our site, like this one, is
designed to help educators do their important work better. We've recently
added a link to the EdiPHy blog so Physical Educators can talk to one
another too...check it out! Thanks again for your comment and for
providing this fine resource!
