Movement and physical activity are important for children's development. Only 25% of children get the recommended 60 minutes of daily exercise, and 1 in 5 American 4-year-olds are obese. Lack of exercise can increase health risks like diabetes and heart disease. Exercise benefits brain development by improving thinking skills, problem solving, and learning through movement. Teachers should provide daily opportunities for physical activity both indoors and outdoors through active play, games, and movement breaks. A variety of equipment should stimulate skills like balancing, climbing, throwing, and kicking to support motor development in young children.
Sensory Integration : Problem & approach in cerebral palsy jitendra jain
Most of the time in children with cerebral palsy, our focus are toward management of motor problem but it has been realized that these children never have only motor problem but most of time they also have sensory processing defect and both dysfunction are correlated to each other so intervention can not be done separately so every one them require detail sensory assessment and proper technique should be utilized to correct specific sensory problem.
Sensory integration therapy is used to help children to learn to use all their senses together. That is touch,smell,taste,sight and hearing can improve difficulties/problems in children with special need.

This slide show is about igniting your baby's learning from birth to meet their full potential. The emphasis is about getting babies up and moving to help make all those necessary brain connections from an early age - especially when the brain is making the most vital connections. No time to waste - active bodies = active minds.

If your toddler is still learning to walk, push-and-pull toys are perfect for her. These toys build on the skills she may already have developed, such as pushing herself up from the floor and pulling herself into a standing position. The next big one is walking, and this is where push-and-pull toys come in.
Holding a push toy will give your toddler something to support and guide her as she walks. It will help her learn to look ahead to make sure that she avoids obstacles. This will boost her confidence and encourage her to be more coordinated as she gets around.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

3. 75% of kids get > 20 minutes of vigorous exercise a day.
1 in 5 American 4-year olds is obese.
Obese/overweight children = risk for:
diabetes
high blood pressure
heart disease
depression
Currently 1st generation of children who will have a shorter life span
expectancy that their parents.
Media= 30- 40 hours per week
Body teaches the brain— exercise is “Miracle Gro” for the brain. It
actually affects the brain’s plasticity and function
4. develops critical thinking
develops problem-solving skills
Fulfills natural need to learn by movement (Piaget)
5.
6. Be intentional about movement
when adults are consciously aware that specific acts support an aspect
of children’s development, they do them more often and become better
at it.
Provide opportunities for physical activity throughout the day
(limited space, circle time, during transitions, outdoor play)
Be a role model and have fun! Adults teach by what they do and
what they DO NOT do.
Studies have shown that the amount of physical activity a classroom
has during “movement time” is directly related to how active the
teacher is.
7. 60 minutes
or MORE of time for structured vigorous activity
60 minutes
or MORE of time for unstructured vigorous activity
Young children should not be sedentary for more than 60 minutes at a time except when
sleeping.
8.
9. Easily accessible outdoor area for 1 hour daily
Open space for active physical play indoors for much of the day
Ample materials & equipment
Infants- outdoor pad/blanket, crib gym, small push toys, balls, sturdy things to pull up
on, ramps for crawling
Toddlers- riding toys without pedals, large push-pull wheel toys, balls, bean bags,
climbing equipment, slide, balance board, tumbling surface, tunnels, large cardboard
boxes
Materials used daily to stimulate a variety of large muscle skills (crawling,
walking, balancing, climbing, throwing, catching, pushing, pulling)
10.
11. ECERS: Gross Motor SPACE

proficiency in rolling over, sitting, crawling. (A2)
Coordinate movements in grabbing, rolling, tossing, and throwing. (A4)
Fine Motor
beginning signs of strength, control, and eye-hand coordination. (B2)
15. Show increasing levels of proficiency, control, and balance in walking, climbing,
running, jumping, hopping, skipping, marching, and galloping. (A6)
Coordinate movements in more complex gross motor tasks, such as throwing,
catching, kicking, bouncing balls, and using the slide and swing. (A7)
Make successful transitions between sequential motor skills. (A8)
16.
17. Moving body while changing locations
Locomotor movement progressions are built on patterns
Walking
Running
jumping
leaping,
skipping
Galloping
The body prepares the brain for learning by mastering movements that lay the
framework for sequencing thoughts and recognizing patterns.
18. Non-locomotor skills permit the child to move their body without changing
location.
Examples:
Twirl
bounce
Stretch
Balance (note: this has it’s own category for your activity file assignment)
support
19. Skills:
tossing, catching, throwing, aiming, striking, jumping, juggling, kicking, bouncing, and
dribbling
The skills develop visual tracking of moving objects, eye-hand and eye-foot
coordination, visual fields, cross lateralization, sequencing of patterns, and
dynamic balance.
These skills aid the brain in organizing thoughts in sequence
Tracking exercises strengthen the eye muscles and visual fields used in reading.
20. Directions
