Get your students moving

I read the article, Get Your Students Moving, the major concept of this piece is getting your student to become more active during their daily class routine. Ms. Fish the author of this article first took notice of her students coming to class droopy eyed, and looked as if they were completely exhausted. From here she saw that the students were energized by heading to P.E. She then started to implement some of the tactics and philosophies of the general P.E. class. By having the students work in team actives she was able to refocus the group.
   From there she started to film the students during these actives which led to even greater results. The motivation of the students greatly increased, they seemed eager and excited to watch the videos she stated.  She saw that they enjoyed watching themselves on film and by doing these games they learned how to deal with people between and work on interpersonal communication.
   She incorporated a unit about the Olympics by letting students pick the countries of their choice. To follow up with the lesson she finished the unit by having a skype message with members of the U.S. Dept of Media committee.

I found this article to be pretty cool! I like how she was able to get across the tech and student barrier. By having students work with each other and by filming it seemed from the article that the students were able to progress and it enhanced the learning. I feel that I could incorporate this easily into the mathematical content and just my pedagogy in general.
