My students learn in all different ways. Many students need more of a kinesthetic approach to learning then they get right now. I believe these balls will increase our overall attention span and allow students be active learners. The idea of using the balls, which require more core strength and balance to sit on than traditional chairs, stems from the well-documented idea that exercise increases brain activity in students. Dr. John J. Ratay said this about the effect of exercise in his book "SPARK: "In addition to priming our state of mind, exercise influences learning directly, at the cellular level, improving the brain's potential to log in and process new information. Research from kinesiologists to epidemiologists shows again and again that the better your fitness level, the better you learn. The balls will increase core strength daily for my students, as well as keep their minds active and alert throughout the day.
