Athletic Bid Awards 2020-104 DCMO BOCES COOPERATIVE PURCHASING SERVICE ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT SUPPLY & UNIFORM BID 2021-104 Prices expire April 30, 2022 Page 1 BID AWARD INFORMATION To: Participating Districts From: Beth Heinlein CPA Date: April 29, 2021 Re: Cooperative Purchasing award results for: Athletic Equipment and Supply Bid #2021-104 On April 28, 2021, the BOCES Board of Education reviewed the bid award recommendations, and approved and awarded the bids. The attached “Successful Bids” sheets are the results of the awards of the bid. These sheets list each item that was on the bid and references the awarded bidder, bid price, vendor product number. Any alternate information is found within the actual item description. This means that if an alternate brand was accepted and awarded, the alternate brand has become the item’s description for this bid cycle. If you need additional information on an item, in most cases, the item can be found on the awarded vendor’s website by using the vendor product number to conduct a search for that item number within the vendor’s online catalog. The bidder MUST provide the item to the brand and model listed within the item’s Description. Please let me know if any item is received that does not match the brands listed on the award sheets. Also attached is the “Awarded Vendor Summary” sheet. This sheet will provide you with pertinent information regarding the address, phone number, website and contact person for each awarded vendor, along with a discount being offered for additional items which were not listed on the bid. Please make sure that the appropriate bid number appears on each purchase order sent to the awarded, corresponding vendor, along with any reference numbers. Page 2 Districts that participated in the Bid will be sent the “Purchase Order Attachments” for the items requisitioned. These sheets will be sent as a PDF file. The PO Attachments show the items that are to be purchased from each awarded bidder, by Requisitioner. These sheets may become an attachment to a purchase order, making separate typing unnecessary. District’s that utilize the WinCap exports will be sent the export sheets shortly. Please note: Purchase Order Attachments with “No bids Received” at the top are a notification that those items were not bid upon and therefore must be purchased outside bid award. Since these items were not available from the bidders; it is possible that the item is obsolete and no longer available. It is suggested that you use the discounts provided on the Awarded Vendor Summary sheet for any items that were not listed within the bid awards Vendor Product Number Each awarded item should show the vendor’s product number in the “Vendor Item number” area on the bid award PDF or excel sheet. If you go to the vendor’s website, you should be able to view the item by placing the vendor’s product number in the search engine. Alternate Items Any item awarded with an alternate pack size has had the original pack size in the specification changed to reflect the award. Please also note, that these changes in pack size may be reflected on your PO Attachments. For example, if you ordered 12 of an item and the awarded unit of measure is by the dozen, then your PO Attachment will reflect an order for 1, since 1 now equals a dozen. Remember, that the listed within the description of the award is the product brand that must be provided by the awarded vendor, any deviation of brands is not allowed. Please call us if this happens.

  • The Impact of Technology Integration on Student-Designed Games By
    The Impact of Technology Integration on Student-Designed Games by Mauro Henrique André A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 5, 2013 Keywords: Student-designed games, technology integration, participatory action research Copyright 2013 by Mauro Henrique André Approved by Peter Hastie, Chair, Wayne T. Smith Distinguished Professor of Kinesiology Alice Buchanan, Associate Professor of Kinesiology Jared Russell, Associate Professor of Kinesiology Jung Won Hur, Professor of Education Foundation, Leadership and Technology Abstract Student-designed games (SDG) is the process in which students create, organize, practice and refine their own games within certain limits established by the teacher (Hastie, 2010). Recent research has proposed different methodologies to teach SDG, and among these, technology integration (TI) was proposed by Hastie, Casey and Tarter (2010) and by Casey, Hastie and Rovegno (2011) when using a wiki for game design. In spite of becoming an innovative methodology for teaching SDG, it is not clear how TI may improve or diminish students’ experience and learning. The present research analyzed how TI has an impact on a SDG teaching unit, and it addressed five research questions: (1) How technology integration has an impact on a teacher’s pedagogy? (2) How technology integration has an impact on students’ physical activity engagement? (3) How technology integration has an impact on students’ enjoyment/ engagement? (4) How technology integration has an impact on students’ communication? (5) How technology integration has an impact on students’ game characteristics/ architecture? The researcher taught two SDG units in a Junior High School, one with TI and another without TI.

  • Preliminary Evaluation of Prototype Footwear and Insoles to Optimise Balance and Gait in Older People Hylton B
    Menz et al. BMC Geriatrics (2017) 17:212 DOI 10.1186/s12877-017-0613-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Preliminary evaluation of prototype footwear and insoles to optimise balance and gait in older people Hylton B. Menz1,2*, Maria Auhl1 and Shannon E. Munteanu1,2 Abstract Background: Footwear has the potential to influence balance in either a detrimental or beneficial manner, and is therefore an important consideration in relation to falls prevention. The objective of this study was to evaluate balance ability and gait patterns in older women while wearing prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve balance. Methods: Older women (n = 30) aged 65 – 83 years (mean 74.4, SD 5.6) performed a series of laboratory tests of balance ability (postural sway on a foam rubber mat, limits of stability and tandem walking, measured with the Neurocom® Balance Master) and gait patterns (walking speed, cadence, step length and step width at preferred speed, measured with the GAITRite® walkway) while wearing (i) flexible footwear (Dunlop Volley™), (ii) their own footwear, and (iii) prototype footwear and insoles designed to improve dynamic balance. Perceptions of the footwear were also documented using a structured questionnaire. Results: There was no difference in postural sway, limits of stability or gait patterns between the footwear conditions. However, when performing the tandem walking test, there was a significant reduction in step width and end sway when wearing the prototype footwear compared to both the flexible footwear and participants’ own footwear. Participants perceived their own footwear to be more attractive, comfortable, well-fitted and easier to put on and off compared to the prototype footwear.
