Teacher's Corner
No matter what your stance on standardized testing it is time for our test-prep practices to get a boost. Our current efforts at raising performance for the 30% most challenged and challenging of our students remains frustrating for all. Please take a look at our commitment to aligning with state standards and NCLB guidelines.
In spite of every good intention, well planned curricula, the best technology we can provide and a commitment to educational excellence - learning outcomes aren’t always what we hope for. FootGaming is more than a cool new computer peripheral that can deliver activity to the use of a "mouse." It is a solid connection of mind-brain-body-kinesthetic-spatial integrated activities tied to academic, behavior and engaged success. FootGaming delivers students "ready-to-learn" so you can do what you do best.
Recent brain research confirms what many teachers have observed in real classroom experience: physical activity, balance practice and eye-tracking practice improve academic success. When students move and get their heart rate up they deliver oxygen to the brain - a great energizer. In reality, the benefits of activity to the brain are more than we once realized.
Research by Dr. John Ratey and others have made brain research more familiar. In his newest book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, Dr. Ratey explores the connection between exercise and the brain’s performance. Blood circulating to the brain enhances the production of BDNF - sort of a "miracle gro" for the brain. new neurotransmitters are forms, the building block of cognitive development and information. Our more than five years of field testing technology-delivered physical activity in the classroom led to our trademarked ExerLearning body of information.
You are busy and the demands on the outcomes from your students are beyond numerous. Our goal at FootGaming is to provide you with an easy to implement computer peripheral, the FootPOWR, that is as easy for you to integrate as a computer mouse. The big difference is that the FootPOWR computer "mouse" is an activity driven tool. Activity and "get the student ready to learn" software options are seamlessly delivered.
