Physical Activity in Schools

According to a News Report, Allison Cameron a teacher in Saskatoon brought exercise equipment into her classroom and had the children keep there heart rate up for 20 minutes before their math class. Cameron saw a tremendous increase in the students ability to focus as well as in their grades. I definitely agree that physical activity helps with mental focus and the ability to remember what they are being taught. And yes you do need to be a "wise consumer of information about educational psychology", especially with this report because they focused mainly on 14 year old males who have extreme trouble with school and focusing. So, yes there are still many questions that would need to be asked and it would probably vary from school to school but I would definitely want to try this with one of my classes when I become a teacher.
