I attended the presentation of teaching throughout movement. It was really eye opening how vital preparing the brain and brain breaks are for a class to learn. The emphasis on "fitness over sitness" applied to all students. When the brain is activated it creates new brain cells which helps stimulate growth. By doing this, the brain learns through implicant learning. Implicant learning, the brain's preferred way of learning, happens through movement, emotions and life experiences. Utilizing movement and preparing the brain through either brain breaks or quick cross the midline activities (jumping jacks in circles and hand tapping-toe clapping) the student's learning will increase. The practical strategies of brain breaks and quick brain stimulation activities I can apply to my classes. Overall, the speaker was engaging and did some of his activities to give us an idea of how to apply it within our lessons.
