What are students really saying about PE when they aren’t censored? This session will discuss research findings of two open Facebook group pages that were discovered in January of 2010. One page advocates for students to “calm down” in PE class, while the other advocates for students to “try harder.” Presenters will discuss the nature of the sites, themes discovered, and will facilitate a group discussion regarding positive advocacy measures.
