Move It! Workshop
While technology, businesses and even religion have adapted to the ever-changing technology, education seems to lag far behind. Despite knowing how the internet and social media have changed the landscape of modern-day living, the way students are being taught in school has been the way it is for the past 50 years!
This workshop aims to help teachers redefine their role in the classroom and revolutionize the way they teach. They will be introduced to new subjects – which will help them understand their students, and which will give them a high-level overview of how the brain learns best. More importantly, teachers will be introduced to the importance of MOVEMENT in the classroom, and will learn various kinesthetic activities which they can integrate in their class.

-
Learn about the 21st century learners a.k.a. Generation Z – their lifestyle, mindset and behaviors
