A New Direction for this E-Zine
|
As a whole, there have been many significant changes to the Physical Education World since the first issue of this e-zine was published over six years ago (2008).
For example, more and more physical educators are moving to Twitter (my #1 site for cutting edge PE content), Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media platforms.
This has dramatically changed the way most innovative and motivated physical education professionals have find professional connections and support to update their content knowledge and expertise. To this end, we are now going to move to help serve the K-12 physical education community members who are a part of this growing legion of social media innovators.
Our new mission is this: "To serve the K-12 physical education community by screening and sharing the most relevant Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. information in a concise reader digest fashion." These social media platforms are free-of-charge. Please consider joining each of them.
In this issue, we will focus exclusively on Twitter and the type of cool FREE instructional resources you will typically find linked to the Tweets physical educators post there!
