Physical Education Resources (The Scout Report -- October 6)
-----------------------------------
Sports Media
http://www.sports-media.org/
Physical Education Lesson Plans
http://schools.eastnet.ecu.edu/pitt/ayden/physed8.htm
Ayden Elementary School Physical Education
http://schools.eastnet.ecu.edu/pitt/ayden/physed.htm
These two sites, the first based in Belgium, the other in North
Carolina, offer a helpful collection of resources, especially lesson
plans, for Physical Education teachers. Sports Media is more of a
portal, containing links to various lesson plans posted off-site.
These are browsed via an alphabetical index. Other content at the
site includes links to coaching and training resources, information
on several international P.E. associations, and a free mailing list.
The second site is constructed and maintained by John Williams, a
Physical Education Specialist at the Ayden Elementary School in
Greenville, North Carolina. The site features over 100 user-submitted
Physical Education lesson plans, organized by category (tag games,
throwing/catching, assessments, etc.). As would be expected, the
detail and quality of the submitted plans vary. All are accessed via
pull-down menus, and a few are located off-site. Williams's main page
offers over 400 (unannotated) links to health and PhysEd resources,
organized by topic. [MD]

recherchent sur un sport. Voyez par exemple cette page très complète sur

-----------------------------------
http://www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/index/2000-8-28.html

The latest update to the ERIC (Educational Resources Information
Center) Digest database (last described in the May 26, 2000 _Scout
Report_) features 58 full-text short reports aimed at education
professionals and the broader education community. Each report
provides an overview of an education topic of current interest and
offers references for further information. Sample titles include
"Teaching Students with Autism," "Accessible Web Design,"
"Reflective
Thought, Critical Thinking," and "Effective Teaching in Distance
Education." Users can search the entire ERIC Digests database from
the index page. ERIC, part of the National Library of Education
(NLE), is a nationwide education information system sponsored by the
US Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and
Improvement (OERI). [MD]

EPA Fuel Economy Site 2001 Update (The Scout Report -- October 6)
-----------------------------------
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
This week the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its
26th annual Miles Per Gallon rankings for passenger vehicles and the
release of its updated interactive fuel economy Website (originally
reviewed in the October 8, 1999 _Scout Report_). This year, Honda's
Insight, a hybrid car, topped the rankings with an average 61 miles
per gallon (mpg). Coming in dead last was the Ferrari 550 Maranello,
with a 8/13 city/highway mpg average (though it seems unlikely that
many Maranello owners had fuel economy in mind when making their
purchase). At the updated EPA site, users can download a .pdf version
of the agency's 2001 Model Year Fuel Economy Guide, find and compare
the mpg of 1985-2001 model year cars and trucks, read about fuel
economy and future technologies, and learn about hybrid and
alternative fuel vehicles. [MD]

This year, Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14.
The theme of this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign is "Fire Drills:
The Great Escape!" This year's "The Great Escape" (a.k.a. the world's
largest fire drill) will take place on Wednesday, October 11, at 7:00
p.m. (local times may vary). "The Great Escape" is a fun,
family-oriented activity that gets the public actively involved in home
fire planning and practice.
Over the past two years, NFPA has documented 58 lives saved as a direct
result of this campaign. With help from fire safety advocates throughout
the United States and Canada, our goal is to make sure more families are
truly prepared to survive a home fire than ever before.
