From the Paper
"Computer technology is an integral part of other subjects such as math and science, but has been seldom used as a learning tool in physical education. Other than for record keeping, the computer has been used very little. Children need to know the basics of physical conditioning and other topics that are not covered in health class. In health class, they learn the basics, but physical education could be so much more than it is today. Children need to learn how to stay fit. We know the health benefits and the advantages that exercise have on the brain?s ability to learn. Physical education could use computer technology to give students a broader understanding of these topics."

The Role of Physical Education
Lack of Guidance for Teachers
Linking Citizenship and SMSC Within Physical Education at KS 3 and 4 Additional Strategies for Implementing Citizenship Within Physical Education
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Crick report, which laid the foundations for the Citizenship Curriculum, suggests strong reasoning why Citizenship should be established within the Curriculum and why teachers should be prepared to tackle specific issues within society. Fundamentally, the report highlights the importance of discussing issues of sportsmanship, fair play and political and religious concerns, either because the subject could directly affect them or because they will, in some way in a democratic society, have opportunities to take part in influencing the outcome."

Abstract
In 1996, the United States Department of Education mandated laws that required school districts to create inclusive programs to integrate students with various disabilities into the general school population. However, a study conducted by the National Council on Disabilities in 2000 showed that most school districts have not transitioned into full mainstream classes. Instead, an estimated 20 percent of children with disabilities continue to spend their schooldays in self-contained classrooms, apart from the general school population. This paper shows that proponents of the self-contained classroom, however, believe that such settings can be advantageous, particularly for students with hearing impairments, mental retardation. and those with physical or learning disabilities. The paper examines how students in total or semi-self-contained classrooms can benefit from instruction in art, music, and physical education. It looks at the challenges of teaching such classes and how educators have adapted techniques from existing programs and created their own class material. In the conclusion, this paper makes recommendations on how educators can successfully design and implement music, art, and physical education programs that address the unique developmental needs of their students.
From the Paper
"As an example, Shapiro and Sayers discuss the case of Rachel, a seven-year-old girl whose impaired motor skills cause low cardiovascular endurance, lower muscular strength and difficulty in manipulative control skills. During her physical education programs, Rachel was taught to use assistive devises such as weigh machines to help develop her posture. An occupational therapist used various blocks and toys of different textures to help Rachel develop a better ability to grasp, reach and release things (Shapiro and Sayers)."

From the Paper
"The threat of new entrants into the microcomputer market is relatively low. This is because of the high cost of marketing microcomputers when there is little or no brand identification already established, and because the market share for existing firms is being consolidated. The industry itself has changed considerably from when Gateway 2000 entered the market (the most recent entrant of significance), and the price pressures that exist in the market are likely to discourage companies which do not have a solid financial basis on which to base their entrance (Feibus, 1998, p. 69)."

From the Paper
"The American economy is enjoying a period of stable growth that is characterized by stable interest rates and low inflation. Prices for personal computers have been dropping as manufacturers are eager to gain market share and are able to take advantage of declining cost schedules. In 1998, personal computers could be found in 43 percent of American homes; this represents a substantial increase from the 40 percent for the three years previous. It is estimated that 60 percent of American homes will have personal computers by 2002 as prices continue to decline. The decline in prices makes it possible for increased numbers of Americans to afford the machines; the attractiveness of the Web and other benefits fuels the demand for these lower-priced computers (Burrows, 1998, p. 28)."

"Risk assessment has reached a new level of importance in the Information Age. The growth of sophisticated networked information systems and distributed computing has created a potentially dangerous environment for private and public organizations. ?Critical data -- such as from trade secrets, proprietary information, troop movements, sensitive medical records and financial transactions -- flows through these systems? (Hamilton, 1999, p. 69). Consequently, organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with potential exposure and are looking for ways to evaluate their organization's security profile today."

Single-Sex Education, 2006.
This paper discusses potential changes to United States Department of Education Title IX policies, which will permit same-sex classes.

Abstract
This paper explains that Title IX of the civil rights statute for education banned all gender-based discrimination in education, except under extremely limited exceptions, such as physical contact sports. The author points out that single-gender schooling, which has a relatively successful model in the private sector, is one possible resolution to encourage academic achievement. The paper relates that, although there has been no conclusive research on the effectiveness of single-sex schooling experiments in limited public school districts, President George W. Bush, as a component of his "No Child Left Behind Act", has arranged a three million-dollar endowment for the establishment of single-gendered schooling. The author argues that it is most important that the quality of education and curriculum remains uniform to both sexes.
From the Paper
"George W. Bush's plan to allocate almost three million dollars in an effort to create more single-sex classes necessitates a great deal of restructuring that will undoubtedly affect both the teachers and students within public school systems. Under Bush's plan, however, single-sex vocational at the K-12 level would remain outlawed. Bush's revision of Title IX is contingent upon the notion that schools will remain "evenhanded," which indicates that boys and girls must be treated equally with respect to the courses that are offered to them."

This paper presents a literature review regarding immigrant elementary school students and the techniques that are being used to educate them. The writer provides a critical review of published literature regarding the topic. It focuses on difficulties being faced by the education departments in educating chidren who are not native English speakers and how the systems which are currently being used are not working.
From the Paper
"As the world continues to globalize it is becoming more important than ever to establish standard methods of teaching the immigrant elementary school students in this country. The non-English speaking students that live in America are struggling with two issues. They are trying to learn the basics, such as reading, writing, and math and build concept after concept to prepare them for higher level learning in later grades. While they are doing this they are also trying to grasp the English language. The educational system is charged with the education of all its students, regardless of their primary language. Throughout the system there has been examination of the situation and many studies and articles have been published regarding the best way to educate these students."

"The fifth model is the Lifelong Physical Activity Model which has as its focus assisting students to "find physical activities they like and will do for the remainder of their lives." Within the framework of this model students are able to focus on the activities they like best and to become skilled through practice at these activities. These activities include individual and dual activities. Stated in relation to this model is that "Besides becoming skillful in a number of lifetime activities students must develop self-confidence for activities (self-efficacy) and self-esteem if they are to acquire lifelong activity habits.""

Steve Jackson Games is the kind of insignificant little company that no one pays much attention to. So one can imagine their surprise when they were raided by the U.S. Secret Service. The Austin-based firm produces "Adventure games"--the vaguely nerdy pastime most people know, if at all, by fantasy role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Lately, company founder Steve Jackson has been wondering whose fantasy he wandered into. Law-enforcement officials confiscated computers, laser printers, IC) and some spare parts from his offices.

Higher Education, 2004.
This paper discusses the history of higher education in the U.S., which has changed dramatically from colonial times to modern times.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the colonial era, education was largely exclusive and focused on the religious education of males. The author points out that modern higher education has been shaped by the implementation of technology, with students commonly using laptops in class and with teachers using overheads and computer-generated lessons. The paper stresses that higher education today encompasses much more than the universities, degree-granting accredited community colleges, and four-year colleges recognized as "higher education" by the U.S. Department of Education; in addition, corporate classrooms, virtual universities, and proprietary schools educate millions of individuals outside of this narrow definition.
From the Paper
"At the same time, educational opportunities of minorities, including African Americans were limited during the early years of higher education. W.E.B DuBois was the first African American to get a Ph.D. degree from Harvard, receiving his degree in 1890 despite opposition to his entrance to the school. Booker T. Washington was also an important figure in African American education, and as head of the Tuskegee Institute, he taught newly freed slaves skills in education, business, and the trades."

Abstract
This paper discusses the teacher's view of the New York City education department and the norms prevalent regarding the treatment of new teachers. The paper examines the issue of volunteering for after school activities or events. The division that team teaching creates is discussed. The change in one's 'peer pool' due to changing from a staff member to administrator is explored. The paper offers several suggested intervention tactics to improve unfavorable situations.
From the Paper
"It wasn't until my third year of teaching at The Clinton School for Artists and Writers in lower Manhattan that I fully caught on to and embraced this shared belief among the staff. The belief was that to be given even the slightest chance of survival, new teachers needed as much in-house help as possible including sharing lesson plans, recommending discipline tactics, reviewing plans prior to an administrative observation and allowing new teachers to do classroom observations. Matthews and Crow (2003) describe these mentoring innovations and collaborations as central practices in helping new teachers develop values that are central to the school's vision. The reason behind these practices at the Clinton School was quite simple; the staff was tired of losing potentially strong teachers to burnout. They felt by developing a support group new teachers would be able to overcome what Clover (2002) suggests are the two most difficult obstacles, fear and apathy. "
