Note
Yesterday and today we are attending the annual convention of the Massachusetts Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. This afternoon we will present orienteering. I'm really looking forward to it.
I met Gigi, who teaches orienteering at Marblehead; Deb Humiston made the map and got her going. I also met someone from Medfield who used to teach orienteering there. And I met a teacher from Medway who wants to teach orienteering, but needs a map and probably some advice. I gave her Ed's contact info. She does not have a large budget, however. Which makes me think we need to find ways to help teachers get grants for maps. Or otherwise help them get usable maps to work with their kids.

Calisthenics 15:00 [3]
(Participated in a session at the PE conference I'm attending.)
We gave our talk and demo today at the MA-HPERD conference. We were encouraged to bring it to the national convention, SHAPE. We had a good turnout. For demo, we had Animal-O, Grid-O, Maze-O (including a memory-O option). We wrapped up with a Q&A, with Ethan, Amanda and I fielding questions. Lots of interest; it was well-attended.
Some of the questions:
* Lots of questions about cost of epunch kit (we talked about doing without, and there was also a lot of support for the idea of a rental kit)
* How to get a map (google earth/maps, schools already have maps for emergency plans; Ethan said we can recommend a professional mapper)
* Safety in letting kids out in a big area (with regard to behavior)
Pumped.
It was great to attend the other sessions too. We were mentioned in the plenary session; the speaker is on the board of SHAPE, and seems to have been an inventor of the apparently hugely popular method called Teaching Games for Understanding. He mentioned us!
I got lots of ideas for teaching.
