On The Web... Podcast on Integrating Movement Across the School Day Just finished listening to an informative podcast on integrating movement across the school day. This free podcast can be listened to online or you can download it and save it to listen on your mp3 player. It offers some nice ideas on incorporating more physical activity throughout the day. You can listen to the podcast entitled More than Just Gym: Integrating Movement Across the School Day at The Whole Child - http://whatworks.wholechildeducation.org/podcast/more-than-just-gym-integratingmovement-across-the-school-day/comment-page-1/#comment-19124. My favorite point that was a great reminder is that physical activity in the classroom is not just for the younger children. It can be even more important for the older students who have such a heavy caseload of school work. Middle and high school students brain and body benefit from these bouts of exercise throughout the day. New Adapted Desk for Students Check out this interview with the creator of the Desktop Desk.
