What is GoNoodle, you ask?
Go Noodle ( www.gonoodle.com )combines exercising with learning.... ExerLearning provides students and educators with a way to incorporate nutrition, regular, rhythmic aerobic activity, balance, and eye-foot coordination into the classroom for improved academic success. We can increase students’ fitness while simultaneously increasing their academic success. Activity breaks have been shown to improve cognitive performance and promote on-task classroom behavior. Today’s exergames and lessons can seamlessly deliver activity without over-burdening busy teachers in grades K-12.
Activity isn’t optional for humans, and our brain, along with its ability to learn and function at its best, isn’t a separate “thing” perched in our heads. The wiring, the circulation, the connection between mind and body is very real. The brain is made up of one hundred billion neurons that chat with one another by way of hundreds of different chemicals. Physical activity can enhance the availability and delivery of those chemicals. Harnessing physical activity while effectively teaching is the ExerLearning solution.
