Education 3.0 Children who participate in additional physical activities at school get better results in subjects such as
English and
Mathematics . This is stated by research published by the US journal of Paediatrics, which studied more than 10,000 children between 4 and 13 years and found that it also improves behavior and cognitive functions in class.
In this way, a brief pause in learning with the intention of providing students with a mental break, helps them to revitalize, focus and relax in the classroom: it is enough to spend between 1 and 3 minutes and is appropriate at any educational level .
Access from the interactive monitor
Charmex proposes to use the interactive monitors of the V series and PLUS High Presicion of Clevertouch . "It is best to plan breaks before students feel fatigued or bored," explains Sue Cook, former teacher and product specialist at Clevertouch. "As intuitive as it may seem, dividing the lesson regularly by taking a few minutes to refocus can be very beneficial for the student's overall productivity," he continues.
Thus, with your browser and access to YouTube, you can access videos or music tracks that make students move. But they are not the only options. For example, companies like GoNoodle have proven to be a success in schools that seek a mental rest approach with many free applications that can be downloaded and that are appropriate for the age of the students and do not include advertising. "Logic-based games and activities help teenagers decompress after periods of high concentration," says Rob Xenos, responsible for Software Development for Clevertouch.
Precisely, Cleverstore, the firm's application store included in each Plus Series monitor, offers multiple options for free. These are the seven apps and videos chosen by Charmex.
