    A1: I used to take kids to the gym and play lit terms basketball, but I haven't done that in years. #Globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1) I believe there could be success using exercise or movement in the classroom. Exercise in the classroom is so important because students, especially younger students, need to move around occasionally. You can’t expect children to pay close attention #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:07 PM EST
    to much in the past 20 minutes of a lesson. It helps students to be focus and stay on task. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: The results from exercise are wide ranging and far reaching. They can help a student in more ways than we can imagine. #globaledchat
  • gmlarese Feb 21 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1 We have 85 minute blocks two days per week, and that’s a lot of sitting. I ask students to get up and move around after 30-45 minutes. With the antsy students, I ask them if they would prefer to stand rather than sit. #globaledchat

  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: It's great for "getting the wiggles out" as my son's kindergarten teacher used to say. He had them doing the chicken dance at least once a week - I'm not sure I could handle that though! #globaledchat

    A1: I think that it is important for students to be able to move in the classroom. You cannot expect them to sit in their desks for prolonged periods of time without zoning out, especially the younger students. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:10 PM EST
    That's great that they can stand - do a lot of them take that option? #globaledchat
    In reply to @gmlarese
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: Got this from @JustStandNews and @Ergotron. Vital that we understand that sedentary behavior is a serious problem. Our student’s brains and bodies will benefit from exercise. #GlobalEdchat

  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:12 PM EST
    Oh my goodness, dancing is one of the best ways to exercise! It's entertaining and fun to do. I remember in pre-school my class would dance to the YMCA, Head Shoulders, Knees, and Toes and a lot more! #globaledchat
    In reply to @hsingmaster
  • SgalloSpeech Feb 21 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1) I think that there could be a great amount of success by incorporating exercise in the classroom. Especially for younger children with longer class period blocks (90 mins at times). It is a great way for students to take a break. #globaledchat #barbersclass @barbersclass
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:13 PM EST
    Q2: What barriers keep teachers from not only exercise in the classroom but making sure it includes ALL students? #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: Try doing inserting some movement in the transition times. Right when they get in the room or just about to leave. #GlobalEdchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: As students get older and there is more demanding curriculum, I'm sure it is more difficult to fit in exercise. #globaledchat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: Some students could be physically disabled #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • PhilipWagener Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1) Without question, students need to experience healthy ways to relieve stress and release energy. #Globaledchat
  • AndiWebb1 Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    As a teacher, I love looking around my classroom and seeing my kids productively working however they are comfortable-lying on the floor, sitting under a table, etc. As long as I can see them and they are safe, we are good! #Globaledchat
    In reply to @gmlarese, @hsingmaster
  • AlyssaC91593915 Feb 21 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1: I think its important because it keeps the kids active and a good way to get their "antsy" ways out so they can pay more attention to lessons. All my experiences with exercise in the classrooms have been great! #globaledchat

      Q2: What barriers keep teachers from not only exercise in the classroom but making sure it includes ALL students? #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2)There are barriers that could occur in the classroom.Two that came to mind is the cardiovascular health or respiratory disability of the student.A student who has moderate-severe asthma may not be able to participate in activities. Also a child who is overweight #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    due to various circumstances, may not be able to endure a certain exercise which would unfortunately prevent him from participating (having a hypothyroid condition could cause this). #globaledchat
  • noel_hoffmann Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: Having them move during transition time is a great idea. #Globaledchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Welcome Joe, always great to have you join #globaledchat!
    In reply to @Jyoung1219
  • gmlarese Feb 21 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2 Let the students choose what they want to do within reason. You can create exercise stations of student choice. Take a 5 minute break and move. Just moving and not sitting is better than nothing. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2: Check out our new platform! You can use it anytime throughout the day. #inclusion #globaledchat https://t.co/IeqDI4XUDb
  • Jyoung1219 Feb 21 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A1: Incorporating exercise & movement in education is important & helpful for all learners. Students & teachers need active participation. There are multiple modalities of learning educators have to address. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • SgalloSpeech Feb 21 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2) I think that time is a barrier for a lot of teachers or they may worry that it will difficult to get students back on track following exercise breaks. Also, they may not want some students with physical disabilities to feel left out. #globaledchat #barbersclass @barbersclass
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:17 PM EST
    Very important to have different adaptions ready. #Globaledchat

    In reply to @AlyssaC91593915, @Fitbound, @hsingmaster
  • noel_hoffmann Feb 21 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2: Or one station during station work can be exercise. #Globaledchat
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A1. I believe it is super important to promote exercise in the classroom, in my experience in the classroom I have encouraged students to get up out of their seats and move around if they need to, as long as they are not distracting other students. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:18 PM EST
    I love answering this fear, b/c once teachers set a standard then students will follow. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @SgalloSpeech, @barbersclass
  • gmlarese Feb 21 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2 Barriers can be time related as well as students who have physical challenges. Let students choose what they want to do. 5 minutes of time exercising might make more productive students during the rest of the class time. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:20 PM EST
    Q3: How can we use exercise to teach students about the UN Sustainable Development Goals? https://t.co/Pjv5H28ZFo #globaledchat
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A2. Sometimes it can be difficult to include exercise in the classroom, especially in higher grades because of the limited amount of time. That being said maybe our curriculums should include some type of way, to include more exercise in the classroom. #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3) Of course! Goal number 3 is all about living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining well-being to all. Teaching students how to use bodyweight exercises is a great starting point because it teaches them that being active is actually very accessible. #globaledchat #GEN2108
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: A couple things that can be fun and engaging. Tie a project to exercise or work with another teacher or subject matter and connect it to exercise. Ex: how does exercise help with blood flow to the heart? Science, math, pe, even art! #globaledchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: The first one that comes to mind is walking for water (https://t.co/0amy46rtwk) or the simulation where students carry water to experience what some families have to do to get water on a daily basis. #globaledchat
  • Jyoung1219 Feb 21 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: There are a variety of factors. I’ve heard - too much content, concern over instructional minutes, challenge of gathering attention again, ... The time invested in classroom structures for physical activity help in the long run. #globaledchat
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • ByronTFrancis Feb 21 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: sometimes teachers are not athletic themselves so they are not as interested or motivated. #globaledchat
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • SgalloSpeech Feb 21 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3: Yes, these goals could be easily incorporated as goal 3 is all about good health and well-being! Teaching kids small exercises in class gives them ideas they can take back home with them and start developing a healthy lifestyle early! #globaledchat #barbersclass @barbersclass
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:23 PM EST

      Embed functional fitness training and PBL into CAS projects or making PE more relevant for lifelong wellness. Not everything about varsity sports. (And I like sports... coached for many years)
      In reply to @hsingmaster
  • alison_miller18 Feb 21 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A3: Goal three is all about healthy living, so teachers could come up with a fun activity that involves movement while teaching students about the UN sustainable goal. #GlobalEdChat

    A3. I believe by encouraging exercise in the classroom will promote knowledge about the sustainable goals. in order to go for runs, go hiking, surfing or so now we need the outdoors. If the outdoors are unsustainable our well being will be effected. #globaledchat
  • Jyoung1219 Feb 21 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Incorporate skip counting with exercises (depending on grade level) will help with academics practice too. #Globaledchat
    In reply to @noel_hoffmann
  • MillieonMontEd Feb 21 @ 8:25 PM EST
    A3: We're talking mostly about gross motor, but fine motor activities such as knitting, sewing, crochet can be done during read-a-loud to satisfy the need for movement and create products for #teachSDGs markets #globaledchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:25 PM EST
    I love this! We need clean air to be able to exercise outside! #globaledchat
    In reply to @mrjoshtorres
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:25 PM EST
    I completely agree with you, Goal 3, as well as all the other goals, are very important to the sustainable goals, teaching about being active and moving will fact help out the goals and make us that much closer to reaching them. #globaledchat

    In reply to @mrjoshtorres, @Cliandonicad
  • PhilipWagener Feb 21 @ 8:26 PM EST
    A2) The truth is decision makers often have fixed mindsets that limit or deny teachers from meeting the needs of students. #Globaledchat
  • EsmaudeJ Feb 21 @ 8:26 PM EST
    I have had success using movement in the classroom. During transitions from math to reading, I've had the kids do jumping jacks and stretch. They enjoy doing it and it helps them get ready for circle time. #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:26 PM EST
    There could be some possibilities of using exercise in the classroom with children with a disability. Depending on what they are dealing with, it is up to us to adjust and adapt! #globaledchat
    In reply to @alison_miller18, @Fitbound
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Q4: Connecting to the #globaled community opens students to new experiences. How could we use exercise to teach students about other cultures, people, disabilities? #Globaledchat
  • ByronTFrancis Feb 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    A3: Connect exercise to a larger need for healthy lifestyles that include nutrition, mental/emotional health and provide Ss with tool that don’t require much equipment or $. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Seen this a lot unfortunately. Sometimes feels like you're banging your head against a wall. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @PhilipWagener
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Linking to goal 6, students could "walk with water" or dumbbells/weights to not only exercise but to show them that this is what some kids do everyday and sometimes more than once a day. #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A4: Using song and dance from other cultures (not just the chicken dance!). This is a classic for foreign language classes, but could be used in others as well. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A4. Exercise is non-threatening. It can be a communication tool or a shared experience to unite groups. #GlobalEdchat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:29 PM EST
    I had that same thought! Showing students what others have to do on a daily basis would open their eyes to the poverty of other countries. #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
    In reply to @hsingmaster
  • noel_hoffmann Feb 21 @ 8:29 PM EST
    A4:: We can play a sport or complete an exercise from the culture we are reading about in World Literature. #Globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:29 PM EST
    A4)The great thing about exercise is that there are no boundaries or restrictions to any race, gender or religion. Exercising is meant to be a community of uplifting and positive experiences. #globaledchat
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:30 PM EST
    With this in mind, different people, cultures, and people disabilities all have their own exercises that they prefer. Exercise is great because it acts as the bridge between all these groups. #globaledchat #GEN2108

    A4: I think a great way to teach students about other cultures is trying to use music from different cultures as they work out in class. Then, you could go over where that country is and discuss their values with the class. #globaledchat #barbersclass @barbersclass
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:31 PM EST
    This is like reading my mind. W created an avenue for students and individuals to create their own videos and share them with the world on our platform. #GlobalEdChat

  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A4. There are many exercises that are prominent in other countries that we can use during these lessons. During or after the exercise the educator can inform the students where the exercise originated or how it is practiced in other areas. Ex. Yoga #globaledchat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:31 PM EST
    A4: Some countries have cultural dances that are very active. Students would have fun learning them, but they would also be exercising at the same time. #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
    In reply to @Fitbound
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:32 PM EST
    Great idea, for instance, if you decide to use dance as an exercise you can use music from other areas or cultures to make the students more culturally and globally aware. #GlobalEdChat

    A5: We personally love what @Belouga_ is doing. We partnered with them on an exercise project that unites the world and exercise. #globaledchat
  • rizzapiccio Feb 21 @ 8:36 PM EST
    A2 one barrier I think is that of Te mindset in the inclusion of movement in the classroom. If they understand the importance of movement it shouldn’t be a barrier #globaledchat

    Hello #globaledchat! Dropping in a bit late. Great to see this conversation, especially the ways students are sharing dances and exercise through a global lens.

    A4 I can see dance from different cultures as a way to introduce other cultures and get some exercise. #globaledchat

      Usually for the younger kids find some type of follow along dances online that we could play on a huge screen where they can easily see the moves and imitate them!

    A5. Youtube connects most of the world and I am sure there are exercise routines from around the world or health tips that are being sued in other countries, some of them may help us and our students are while connecting with another culture, visually. #globaledchat
  • rizzapiccio Feb 21 @ 8:40 PM EST
    A4 exercise is one great way to let students understand that people from different places may practice exercise in various ways and that they can have similarities as well as differences #globaledchat

    I never thought about sports, there are many sports that would interest our students such as maybe rugby!! #GlobalEdChat

    Youtube is great. We will be bringing videos from around the world together on our platform as well. The goal is to profit share with the individuals who create the videos as well. Good content and engaging exercise! #GlobalEdChat

    Q6: What could administrators do to help the #GlobalEd community not only exercise more but create a culture for inclusive exercise and the breaking down of barriers? #Globaledchat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:42 PM EST
    Students sometimes tend to disengage when they here the term "exercise", how could we change that? #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:43 PM EST
    A6: Flexible scheduling or block scheduling in high school might allow for more time for exercise to be incorporated. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:43 PM EST
    A6: Ideas: could admins provide incentives for teachers to get their classroom moving? How about intra-classroom competitions? School-wide messaging? Before, during, and after school programs for students and teachers? #GlobalEdchat
  • noel_hoffmann Feb 21 @ 8:44 PM EST
    A6: Administrators can encourage teachers to add movement during class time and present ideas for inclusion to the faculty. #Globaledchat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:44 PM EST
    A5: I'm sure there are a ton of videos you can find on youtube that connects cultures to exercise. #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A6. Administrators should be apart of all our actions and aware of our mission to be global, by providing ample outside time, or access to health equipment, teachers will be able to teach with a global perspective. #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:45 PM EST
    Admins also need some push. I always tell teachers, don't be afraid to nudge them a bit;) #GlobalEdChat
  • Ferguson8806 Feb 21 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6: Admins could allot extra time for exercise. #globaledchat #sp19edfb4338
  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:47 PM EST
    I agree with this! I believe everything starts with the individual's mindset! I believe if we, as educators, can help change this and provide a positive light to the importance of exercise then inclusion will follow! #globaledchat

    Anyone have any good Admin stories from admins who have done right by them/school? #GlobalEdChat
  • SgalloSpeech Feb 21 @ 8:47 PM EST
    encourage students to exercise and classes could compete to see who got the most tallies. There were also incentives for reaching a half marathon, marathon, etc. #GlobalEdChat #barbersclass @barbersclass

    I second this! I think dancing is a great method because it is so light-hearted and always creates a fun environment! #globaledchat

  • Cliandonicad Feb 21 @ 8:48 PM EST
    A6) Administrators could make time oriented assessments that are required each year. Also, the administrators could hold friendly competitions between the teachers to see who can make the most creative and fun way to integrate inclusive exercise. #globaledchat #GEN2108
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:49 PM EST
    Nothing better than a good competition between classes or grades. #GlobalEdChat

    Q7: Name one way you will try to bring exercise to your classroom to benefit all students? #globaledchat
  • Fitbound Feb 21 @ 8:50 PM EST
    A7. Using Fitbound our platform will link all students. Our platform is not only diverse but inclusive. https://t.co/PlmHwi8BT5 #globaledchat #inclusionrevolution #CommitToInclusion
  • mrjoshtorres Feb 21 @ 8:52 PM EST
    A7. As an educator, I will make sure to keep in mind the benefits of exercise and try to implement healthy lifestyles beginning with my self. Furthermore, I will make sure to include physical movement in my lesson plans, at least once or twice a week #globaledchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator Feb 21 @ 8:53 PM EST
    A7: I'll keep promoting exercise online. #globaledchat

    A7) With my classroom, I would love to have them take walks either outside or through the building. I would do this by having components of my lesson plans set up at different locations and then we would walk as a class to each spot. #globaledchat #GEN2108

    Love the creativity with this one. #Globaledchat
