LT 106 Moving to Learn: Phys Interaction

If you’ve ever need to get up and walk around to reawaken your senses, or found that a short burst of physical activity ‘woke you up’, then you’re already aware of the critical impact of physical activity on the brain. In the classroom, physical activity can lead to improved learning outcomes, including improved memory skills, concentration and abstract reasoning. The session will explore the connection between body & mind and will investigate technologies like console games, alternate reality, QR codes and augmented reality that promote physical movement and enhance the learning experience.
