 About PE1.ORG

PE1.ORG is a non-profit organization developed to aid Physical Education Professionals develop web space to better serve their educational community.

pe1.org's History

The Beginning:

pe1.org was developed by Mr. Scott Tomassetti and began as the url for the Dr. Ramon E. Betances Physical Education Web site during the summer of 2002.  We had originally been named http://www.getfit123.com/pe, but found that name to lengthy for the students, parents, and yes even the teachers to remember.  Thus, PE1.ORG was born.

The Change:

The idea to change pe1.org into a site for physical education professionals came about as a need recognized in the spring of 2003.  That spring Mr. Eagle joined Betances Physical Education as a teacher candidate from Eastern Connecticut State University.  We began to work on Mr. Eagle's site ( http://getfit123.com/mce ) as a portfolio of his experience at Betances. 

Just after Mr. Eagle joined our merry band, Mr. DeAngello from Central Connecticut State University did his practicum for his methods class. We also developed a web page for Mr. DeAngelo to show his CCSU Class some pictures of his work at Betances. 

Near the end of the college semester, after Mr. DeAngelo demonstrated to the class at CCSU our website at pe1.org.  His professor, Dr. Judith Bourel-Miller, the CAHPERD President, ask us to demonstrate the use of technology to their membership. In preparation for a hands on experience of web site building, we have expanded pe1.org to represent the Physical Education Professional. 

RECENTLY;
pe1.org now has many bridges and branches.  We have begun the transformation from a local Connecticut based organization, to having international physical educators as members.  pe1.org has also developed web portals and classroom management tools for use at the college level, and web portfolios for college students at Eastern Connecticut State University.  pe1.org most successful venture is Fitness 1st, a tool to help the students at Betances School learn lifelong health fitness techniques and strategies.
THE FUTURE:
No one can predict the future, but we can foresee pe1.org growing to include many members, all of whom share the same goal.  To develop students into lifelong learners of healthy lifestyles and activities that make them happy and productive in our society.
