Internet Spawns Online Physical Education - Darcia Harris Bowman, Education Week

Florida teenager Jessica M. Fox is "kind of anti-sports" and admits to having no interest in sweating alongside her peers in a high school gym class. So, while her classmates at Cypress Lake High School ran laps last year, the 16-year-old junior logged on to the Internet for a new kind of physical education. Some 1,600 students statewide are expected to follow in her footsteps this year by enrolling in a cyberspace gym class to knock off the state's high school graduation requirement of one semester of physical education.
