Integrating technology into physical activities to enhance learners executive function, which supports learning through better focussed attention, and memory through dual tasks (the layering of complexity NOT multi-tasking!) Best of all it’s fun, active and progressive and can give data on individual learners and their progress.
We will share how we created the programme together and how might other teachers use this approach. We’ll also share the results of our 6 week programme using Spark’d SmartFit and Reaxing equipment. Pre and Post cognitive testing completed to see if using dual tasking activities improve executive function, specifically:
Attention
Episodic memory
Visuo-spatial short term memory
