Educate students in mind and body-and optimize their success. There
is no issue today that gets more attention and incites more debate
than children's use of technology. Technology offers exciting new
opportunities and challenges to you and your students. Meanwhile,

helps brain cells develop. But screen time often comes at the
expense of physical activity. How do you choose? You don't! This
blended instructional approach combines kinesthetic teaching
methodologies with technological resources to meet content
standards, increase achievement and test scores, and enrich the
learning process. Here you'll find A neuroscientific overview of
the powerful brain-body connection Step-by-step instructions for
balancing movement and the use of technology in the classroom
Practical tools, templates, and vignettes to ensure successful
implementation Classroom management tactics and useful remedies for
common problems Educating the whole child means promoting social,
physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive growth. By joining two
powerful teaching tools, you'll prepare students for a bright
future-in school and in life-while growing your instructional
expertise as well.
Since the turn of the century the phenomenon of learning has
received increasingly more attention. Within the theoretical field,
a variety of theories of learning have evolved. The field of
research on learning has become very complex, with different foci,
founders and proponents, schools, and disciplinary approaches. This
book is a first publication in the On the definition of learning
network. The network arose out of the aspiration to study the
phenomenon of learning in depth and to understand its complex
relationship to empirical investigation and teaching. Based on the
assumption that it is important to be sensitive to the variety of
concepts and theories of learning in the field, and to continue to
cultivate that variety, the book takes a step towards actively and
critically engaging the various approaches in the field of learning
theory. At the same time it emphasizes the complex relationships
that exist between conceptualizations of learning and the empirical
phenomenon of learning and teaching. It discusses how
conceptualizations of learning are put to work in educational
contexts and how the normative aspects of learning in relation to
discussions of what is considered worth learning influence the
formative processes of human development.
