It is important that students stay actively engaged in their learning. For many students this is a difficult task because they are focused on controlling their bodies not the material they are going over in class. By providing students with a way to physically move while they are learning, they will be able to focus more on the material being presented. I hope that these tools will provide my students with the opportunity to open up their minds more, to be free to move around while doing their classroom studies. This will also provide a more open and free learning environment for all students. By having the stand up desk with swing bar and stability balls in my classroom, I feel that it will give my students more choices. They will be able to chose their seats daily that they feel will be the best fit for them and their learning that day. I hope that by providing more active and different seating options students will be more actively engaged in their learning. Many students are unable to sit in a standard chair for a duration of time (even adults have difficulty with this task) these options will not only allow students to stand and bounce during their lessons but it will allow them to make a choice each day on what will help them be the most successful each and everyday.
