These are designed to give students a chance to take a mental break from the content and a physical break from sitting down. There are several different ways these can be incorporated. They work great during transitions or randomly during lengthy lessons. These can be stretches or more of a physical movement to increase oxygen flow to the brain. These would be great to use after sitting still and hard work after a set amount of time such as during a history or reading class. 
-The technology involved with this could be a countdown feature to keep the stretching and movement under a certain time limit. The sound of the timer lets the students know that it is over. There are also websites with several brain breaks already created such as Go Noodle which are great and very engaging for younger students. These include short 2-4 minute interactive movement videos for a brain break. ]]> 2019-11-19 01:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lrcooper94/9kmyk0fevfsa/wish/413128510 lrcooper94 https://padlet.com/lrcooper94/9kmyk0fevfsa/wish/413129988 Teachers can engage high energy students by creating movement during class such as stretches or brain breaks. The two strategies in this element are stand up and stretch and corners activity. ]]> 2019-11-19 01:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lrcooper94/9kmyk0fevfsa/wish/413129988 lrcooper94 https://padlet.com/lrcooper94/9kmyk0fevfsa/wish/413130616 -The teacher organizes students into four groups. The groups rotate throughout the different corners in the room. They each include a different, in-depth question related to the current content. There is a designated recorder in each group and this person jots down the groups ideas and discussion. After a set time limit they rotate clockwise to the next corner. This would be great when discussing a story. Each corner could focus on a different aspect of the plot to discuss.
-Technology involved in this activity could be music playing when it is time to switch to the next corner. This gets students excited and engaged in the activity. A random group generator such as Team Maker is also great to separate students into the 4 groups. ]]> 2019-11-19 02:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lrcooper94/9kmyk0fevfsa/wish/413130616
