Survived The Food Coma!

Alright, I've been working with Prezi on and off all afternoon. I started with a simple Prezi layout and that really seemed to help. I had an idea of what I wanted where and it literally was so much easier. I think I was trying to do too advanced "moves" without the basic knowledge. I'm hoping this will knowledge will help future Prezi's not seem as daunting.

I want to take a minute to talk about research...WOW! I think it really "hit" me today how serious and intense this research is. I downloaded the Refworks on my computers and attempted to add more research. I think right now I should order/gather all of the research, but it's been hard to find my specific topic. The topic I'm searching is about physical movement in the classroom and how it helps the brain learn. Brain gym or Brain bootcamp are sort of my starting point. I'm feeling a little weird about the research...I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, but I guess I'll fake until I make it...right? :o) Good Luck with your research!

  1. I'm so excited! I found five...count 'em...FIVE books that you can use that have EXACTLY what you need! Well, I may be a little overconfident that they are EXACTLY what you need, but each of them has information on the importance of movement and learning, taking breaks during instructional time, the importance of cross-lateral movement, etc. Doesn't that sound like EXACTLY what you've been looking for? I'll be hauling them into class for you tomorrow...Yay!
