xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Slide 1. __ Introduction to brain gym __ = MAUREEN SLIDE 2. What is brain gym and how to integrate it in classroom to enhance learning abilities of students? Teachers can use 'brain gym' activities or exercises to enhance the learning abilities of students. I first saw the brain gym in action in my first prac; I noticed that when students used the brain gym, that the students became more focused and more enthusiastic for learning. SLIDE 3. What is Brain Gym? Brain Gym was developed in the 1980s by Dr. Dennison, an American teacher with an interest in the effect of movement on his students’ ability to learn. Brain gym is an energising program of movement designed to release tense muscles, improve brain and body communication, create a state of active relaxation, and improve concentration, organisation and co-ordination. Brain Gym movements prepare the brain and nervous system for optimal performance. They are ideal for anyone undertaking a learning activity. SLIDE 4 .This movement-based system activates and integrates the brain and body by: Slide 5. When to apply brain gym? You will find out through our presentation when you can incorporate brain gym into your classroom.You may be surprised that already you have incorporated some into your life already =Summary( have 2 more slides to correspond with this ) slide 6 and 7 in my power point = So now you can see how brain gym should be used in the classroom. These simple body movements help students become more focused for learning. Brain gym is most effective when used in the classroom as part of the learning process; it is easy to incorporate within your classroom setting. These physical activities help the chemical and electrical processes which take place during mental and physical efforts. Brain gym is the easiest and fastest way to shift students from scattered to focused, from confused to clear, and from tense to relaxed. A typical classroom experience lacks the quantity of movement required for healthy physiological development. Brain gym can be effective in changing attitudes and the classroom atmosphere; =hope this ok guys and were all on the same page see ya tomorrow at 11 Maureen=

This is the most up to date powerpoint presentation. I have deleted the writing on the brain gym slide for Maureen. I have also added that colour test with references to the powerpoint. We just need the questions to add and two references from Maureen. Plus anything that Ashley Cox wants to add.

Please check that the order of the slides is correct, I can't remember what we decided. The order I have them in at the moment is water slide, colour test, colour slide, tired slide and rowdy/distracted slide.

I've also included the original information that I designed the brain gyms from.
