Research shows that movement and music can change the way we learn and remember. Now teachers can access the power of movement and music to unlock potential in the classroom.
FableVision’s new SmartMoves™ DVD, a cognitive fitness program, is based on the latest research to improve learning and brain function. By incorporating just a few minutes of SmartMoves in to your daily classroom routine, you can help your students improve their working memory, enhance ability to focus and integrate multiple concepts. SmartMoves includes 40 Body Puzzles for the Mind, combining movement with music, resulting in a more productive and positive classroom experience.
Teachers and researchers agree: more and more children develop learning disorders every year. Classrooms are filled with bright children who have trouble learning, shorter attention spans, more impulsive behavior and decreasing scores in reading and language skills. Teachers report SmartMoves helps address these challenges. Many teachers are using SmartMoves to help students shift into learning mode when they arrive at class. They also find it extremely helpful prior to a test to reduce student stress and anxiety.
SmartMoves helps sports performance. Calvin Dietz, Head Olympic Strength and Conditioning Coach, University of Minnesota, says, “When the mind/body is forced out of its comfort zone by directed and complicated movements, old neural pathways are broken down, which allows for new, more efficient pathways to grow. I recommend SmartMoves for anyone wanting to improve their focus, balance and cognitive fitness.”
FableVision is also unveiling Animation-ish™, a K–12 animation program developed in partnership with Toon Boom Animation. Designed and hosted by Peter H. Reynolds, NY Times bestselling author and illustrator, the program is packed with tips and inspiration from Reynolds.
