**The Physical Educator:** []
====A website great for all sorts of resources...no more re-inventing the wheel...resources are at my fingertips. Things such as charts, posters, games etc.. I found this website using twitters and I am now a follower. Included in this website is a place for educators to blog about about physcial education and share ideas, great new games with good quality pictures and full descriptions to prevent kids from getting bored with the same games all the time, and a professional website to connect, share, collaborate, and grow.====

====Prezi is cloud based, zooming, presentation software that is absract, and interesting, and which combines different elements. Anyone can sign up for free and share their presentations by making them public or private. As a classroom teaching tool (for a health class presentation) this would be a great place for students to share their work and also view others work (classmates and/or the public), and also for searching for topics of interest. Prezi allows you to pan and zoom, import media, choose templates and themes to customize its look, collaborate in real-time, and use frames to create an animated path thru the presentation. It is fairly simple to use and incorporates many interesting elements overall.====
 * Prezi:** []

====This is a great website that is basically a compilation of instructional videos based on different sports. This is a very useful tool for educators.There are many different sports to choose from and people can continue to post videos and add to the page. The focus on this page is primarily elementary level games. Included on the website are games such as warm-up games, soccer, dodgeball, basketball, net sports, and tag, just to list a few. Because the instructions are on video, it makes it easy to follow without the work of having to read a lot of material. Overall a good site.====
 * Phys. Ed Games:** []

====This is a website that is created and used for teachers by providing easy to use mobile applications. Some apps that they provide are on easy assessment, game rules, 12 minute run, and step tests for example. I discovered PE GEEKS through twitter and have become a follower. Anyone can join their mailing list and receive updates on the latest apps, promotions and free trial apps.====
 * The PE Geek- Bridging the Gap Between PE and Technology:** []

====The Health Canada website includes a lot of different health resources. The Canada Food Guide page includes different printable versions along with different resources that are related to eating healthy. It includes things such as Food Guide Basics, choosing healthy foods, and tips on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. There is a section for educators and communicators that includes educational tool-kits, nutritional labelling information, and ready to use presentations. A very useful site.====

**Government of Manitoba>Education and Literacy>K-12 Physical Education/Health Education Website:**
[] ====Manitoba Education posts the Physical Education and Health Education K-12 curriculum online. Within this website you'll find curriculum documents and resources, a curriculum overview, information for administrators and parents, along with many other learning resources. The 5 general learning outcomes emphasized within the curriculum and site are; Safety, Personal and Social Management, Movement, Healthy Lifestyles, and Fitness Management. This reference is much faster to find resources than looking through the hard copy of the curriculum which is approximately 450 pages in length. There is a search engine which makes it much easier to navigate, along with a breakdown of each section in headings. Much more practical and easy to use.====

====This is another government website that is a great resource which is secure and credible. It provides information about physical activity and its benefits. It include pages with physical activity guidelines and tips to getting active that are easy to follow and that would be a useful resource for students and teachers. There is information on preventing injuries and promoting health, along with infectious and chronic disease. This website also includes links to information about youth, teens, and adults, and older adults and how they can build physical activity into their lives.====
 * Public Health Agency of Canada:** []

====This is an American website that provides many links and resources on different physical education and health education topics. Some of the topics that they cover are; strengthening bones and muscles, disease prevention, controlling weight, and living longer. I also found links for youth and teens on the body and the mind, and how to make healthy lifestyle choices.====
 * Centres For Disease Control and Prevention:** [|http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/health/index.html#ControlWeight]

====This website is absolutely one of the biggest and best resources to keep Phys.Ed teachers current with anything and everything you could think or want or need. The website includes links to Sport Manitoba (which is a resource in itself along with the following others), Manitoba in Motion, MHSAA (Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association), Manitoba Education Citizenship and Youth, and Manitoba Health. There is a membership fee for those interested in joining their organization which is committed to promoting Physical Education programs throughout Manitoba, to use as a network for sharing resources and materials, and to give teachers and interested people an opportunity for them to meet and to associate. You will also find journal articals and many active classroom resources that I have found to be great.====
 * MPETA-Manitoba Physical Educators Teachers Association:** []

**Manitoba in Motion:** []
====This website is a useful tool full of great information and resources on how to get "in motion". **//In motion//** is a provincial strategy to help all Manitobans make physical activity part of their daily lives for health and enjoyment. Their vision is to make Manitobans healthier by increasing physical activity in the province by 20 percent by the year 2015. This initiative is emphasized through activities and resources available on the website. It is aimed at all age groups within workplaces, and schools and individuals to get "in motion", by providing tips and ideas to help promote physical activity, no matter where. Definitely worth a look!====

====This website is a great resource for all types of strength and weight training exercises. They provide a list of basically every muscle a person would want to train using plyometrics, dumbell exercises, exercise balls, elastic bands, isolation type exercises, compound exercises, cable exercises, weightlifting, cardiovascular, pilates, core strength, machines,calisthenics exercises, hoola hoop exercises, and more... For obvious reasons we can see how useful this website is. Anyone can become a member or use any of the many free exercises available with pictures included. Very good website.====
 * Myfit Health and Exercise:** []

**Netfit. A Definitive Guide to Health and Fitness:** []
====This website was very informative. By becoming a member to Netfit.ca you gain access to more content, resources and special offers. This website includes a lot of information on many topics such as fitness workouts, how to videos, nutrition, weightloss, articles, books etc. Definitely worth navigating.====

**Twitter:** [|www.twitter.com]:
====An online cornacopia of information! I find twitter a useful tool for networking and meeting like-minded professionals who are passionate about what they do, and who understand the benefits of using technology as a tool for sharing and exchanging information. Twitter is a good resource with all sorts of exposure to just about any topic. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, people post and share gym games that work, and resources that come in handy at the click of a mouse. Finding the time to navigate through some of these sites can be timely but usually, well worth the work.====

**Doodle:** []
====This website is free and is useful for creating a schedule based on students availabily that I can post and change on my wiki. This is useful so students can input their schedules and as a coach, help me to figure out what times work best to suit the needs of my team and to find times that work for everyone. This prevents anyone wasting time at a practice that only half the team can commit to. Very interesting and useful tool.====
