Four techniques for mental clarity

I found this video very interesting because these are actually some of the warm-up exercises we do before doing Tai Chi.

ExerLearning

Great video. I have spent the past 7 years developing ways to help busy teachers add physical activity and balance practice to the classroom. One way is to use existing classroom technology to deliver activity (video http://www.footgaming.com/School/ ) and to harness the energy and expertise of students as activity leaders.
We call it TEAM e3 - entrepreneurship, exercise, empowerment.

Stress and Energy in the Learning Process

I conducted a graduate course with this topic for nearly twenty years. We explored the mind/body connection and how teachers can increase energy, attention, retention of the material, motivation -- all without the traditional 'carrot and stick' methods of classroom control. I'm so glad that it's becoming more accepted nationally.
I've collected, developed and organized hundreds of classroom techniques for increasing awareness, cognitive functioning, and motivation -- including techniques for seamlessly incorporating movement into the fabric of the lesson itself. http://www.bestspeaker.com
