Online Physical Education Program Finds Niche - Kate McGreevy, School Reform News
While it may be a little early to say the trend is sweeping the nation, online physical education programs are gaining popularity in states from Florida to Minnesota. Jan Braaten, curriculum coordinator for physical education and health for the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), explained why her district began offering online physical education classes in the spring of 2005. "Things have changed in the twenty-first century in many ways, and one change is the wide variety of options and lifestyles for our students," Braaten said. "We still think it is a great benefit for our students to participate in a traditional physical education course. [But] the online courses are really there to fill a niche for certain populations of our students and to allow them to benefit from what we have to teach."
