This is a fantastic presentation packed full of practical resources and well researched information.  It is a great introduction to the idea of using movement for learning.  I can see it as a great PD tool for new teachers or buildings looking for different types of interventions to try with students.

Thank you for the information, Shelly! I see the importance of incorporating movement in learning every day with my students. I am excited to look into the resources that you have provided!

I plan to continue to update my LiveBinder, so please keep in mind that it is a work in progress :-)

This was a a great presentation and resource to remind us that everyone one learns differently. It also reminded me that movement and repetition can help us retain information. It is also good to remember to take brain breaks. It is important to not have students sitting for long periods of time without movement. Your presentation has me reflecting on how I can add more movement to the learning environment of my art classroom.

I appreciate the comments and ideas. I look forward to learning more about the Kinesthetic Learning Lab at CRE.

Here is the reference list and list of websites provided in my presentation:

Here is a presentation from Clover Ridge Elementary School (CRE): "Movement in the Classroom"

It includes great video examples of kinesthetic learning activities.

This was interesting and helpful. You had great resources. I liked the personal part as well. Thanks for sharing.

As a children's ministry pastor at a local church, we are finding more and more the link between movement and learning. The goal cannot simply be to dish out content for students to retain anymore [was that EVER the most effective method though? :)]. I appreciate you sharing this presentation and resources with me!

Your presentation brought back memories of helping my son complete homework through standing while reading and throwing catch with a ball while completing sentences or practicing spelling words. Jake would not have been so frustrated if movement had been integrated into his school day.
thank you for this important reminder that movement helps everyone learn. I will definitely be borrowing "Refocus and Recharge, 50 Brain Breaks" and picking your brain for ideas that I could try with students at the job site. Thank you for letting watch your presentation.  It is getting my mind back into school gear after a very fun, work free summer!

Great presentation! A nice summary of resources and easy to follow.  You provided some great examples for movement that teachers could easily incorporate into their daily schedules.  I think it is important for staff and administration to be reminded that all learners benefit from movement after 30 minutes of instruction. Movement is researched based!

Nice presentation. This summer marks my twentieth year with ACTG and the Minnesota Learning Resource Center. The knowledge of how powerful movement is has come a long way. You did a great job of summe

....summarizing resources that show the research and support is out there  without overwhelming the viewers. Carla Hannaford says "movement anchors thought" We like to say "Movement Anchors Learning" thanks for putting this together!

This presentation reiterates the exact reason why we learn best with our whole body.  Research supports that the 20-20-20 rule which is to get up and move, shift from the technology or other eye intensive work such as reading and writing every 15-20 minutes to decrease eye strain and for our minds to process what we are learning.  This is so important especially with children but also adults.  I know for myself when I am trying to solve a problem when I stand up from a seated position I am able to find the solution immediately.  There is a brain based reason for this and is all based on science.  It's so important to keep this in mind in our schools.  Having a variety of seating or work options teaches students to access their full potential for learning. I love all the examples of activities with all ages. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences in this video. It would be great to share with teachers and parents.

This presentation offered so many new ideas for my fifth grade classroom. At this grade/age I am learning just how important movement is as these students are physically growing and are learning body awareness based on how they have grown. I was really interested the resource on brain breaks for middle schools. Thank you for providing
such a strong repertoire of resources. Amanda Otero-Rosemount Elementary and fellow LDT 602 student

I loved the presentation it really hits exactly how I feel about movement and learning! There are so many simple ways to include movement into the classroom and sometimes it takes thinking outside the box, but this is the best for learners to have success. I have not heard of the book Kinesthetic classroom. It sounds like this would be a great resource to use as a classroom teacher and since I am a specialist outside of the classroom it also could be used to support students in learning. I loved the examples used in the presentation; such as the parachute. I used that with some middle school students this past year and it was really engaging. I also liked using the parachute because it got all the students I work with to participate. Some of the students I work with are in wheelchairs and with having peers to push them it was an inclusive activity. Thank you for the great list of resources. I would love to get a copy it is always nice to get new ideas! Also, great plan for the student who got to shoot hoops with his teachers what a great way to get that student involved and excited about his day!!

At CRE, our computer lab has recently been replaced with a kinesthetic learning lab!  Students will be able to come to this space and learn while moving. It is designed to take content off the worksheet and into motion. We have seen this work on a small scale in individual classrooms and hope to scale it to far more students. We'll keep you posted with our results. Great presentation!

I would love to hear your feedback on Movement and Learning. Do you plan to incorporate movement into classroom activities, and if so, how? Which  books, articles or websites that I referenced in my presentation or on this padlet interest you? Do you have any recommendations for other educators?

Combining Movement  and Academic Content 

# data[].attributes.body
I am an occupational therapist (OT).  I often have students complete movement activities to improve muscle tone and endurance or to provide them with sensory (vestibular and proprioceptive) input for improved regulation. Ultimately, the goal would be to improve functional performance. One thing I liked about doing this project is that it has been stretching me to come up with ideas for including specific teaching content/academic information during/as part of the movement activities. Many of the books and articles I referenced offer great ideas on incorporating movement into specific academic tasks, so I encourage you to take a look at some of the resources. Please let me know if you try something new with your students and really like the outcome.

I plan to add a link to the LiveBinder I have created on Movement and Learning after I make some modifications to it. Meanwhile, below are some additional resources related to Movement and Learning that I did not include in my presentation. The bottom three are exercise videos found on youtube:

Short exercise videos can be used with your whole class. Such activity helps get blood flowing and oxygen to the brain to prepare for learning.
