This document discusses the benefits of exercise for brain health and cognitive performance. It summarizes that regular exercise that gets the heart rate up to 65-75% for 20 minutes has been proven to improve learning and make people smarter. It advocates incorporating daily physical activity into school through activity stations and exercise to help increase test scores and attention. The intervention is needed because obesity, sedentary screen time, and physical inactivity have been rising sharply in youth while physical education classes have declined.
Technology for Physical Activity & LearningAndy Petroski
Lack of physical activity impacts students’ health and studies show that it impacts academic performance. Video games and technology are often blamed. Join this session to see how technology and Active Learning (physical movement in learning) can be combined to increase student engagement in learning, classroom behavior and academic performance.
Hartselle Junior High School is making an IMPACT!LEAN Frog
Childhood obesity has reached alarming levels, especially in Alabama. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Emerging research supports the theory that aerobic exercise can improve academic performance and enhance cognitive abilities of children and adults. Through physical activity and education towards making healthy decisions, this Wellness Initiative will not only target students, but classroom teachers, principals and administrators, parents and community members to understand that by leading an active lifestyle, they will improve every aspect of their lives – physically, emotionally and mentally.
THE IMPACT is a five year plan to provide opportunities for children to achieve the 60 minutes a day of physical activity they need to be healthy. Ground zero for IMPACT will be Hartselle Junior High School which will make HJHS only the 2nd school in the state of Alabama to have such a program. The goal of IMPACT is to cause a ripple effect that reaches all schools in the Hartselle City school system, families and the surrounding community. A team of volunteers have pledged their time and effort in helping students reach their fitness goals by providing before, during and after school programs.

The Impact of Early School Start Times on TeensDebbieOMoore
Since the 1990's, school districts across the country have utilized a tiered bus system and staggered school start times to save money. Based on zero science, high school students were often selected to start the day in the 7:00 o'clock hour. Research now has irrefutably shown that early school start times are detrimental for adolescents. Sleep deprivation among teens is widespread and chronic. Many school boards resist delaying high school start times due to myths and fear of change.
A short summary of the main advantages of cardiovascular exercise on learning, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, attention & aging. Based on the book "Spark" by John Ratey.

American kids are out of shape, tuned out and stressed out because they’re missing something essential to their health and development, unstructured time playing outdoors.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF) created the Be Out There movement to give back to American children what they don’t even know they have lost: their connection to the natural world. In the process, NWF aims to help reverse alarming health trends and help families raise happier, healthier children. Signs everywhere show the spirit of the movement taking hold.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. What is it?
Groundbreaking exploration of the connection
between exercise and the brain’s performance
Proving that exercise improves our ability to
learn and in fact makes us SMARTER!
Getting our heart rate up to 65% to 75% for 20
minutes increases brain power and attention.
4. What is it?
Incorporate daily exercise into your school day.
Evolving PE from the old to new.
Activity stations with jump ropes, arobic steps, running
outside, treadmills, eliptical, use your imagination
A way to increase test scores and kids attention in school
5. Why do we need this
intervention?
65% of our nations adults are obese (Spark)
30% of U.S. schoolchildren are overweight – six times more than 1980
and another 30% are on the cusp (Spark)
97% of the Freshman in 01 and 02
10% have type 2 Diabetes (Spark) were at a healthy weight according
to their BMI in Naperville, IL.
Students in grades 3-12 spend an average over six hours plugged in to
some type of media each day. (www.edutopia.org 2009)
Take a look at P.E. classes now there is a lot of inactivity
Less than 3% of adults over the age of 24 stay in shape through playing
team sports. (Phil Lawler)

benefit of Naperville-style physical
education, our next generation of adults
would be healthier, happier, and smarter.
