Great site for indoor recess. Check out Kidnetic’s Move Mixer! #elemchat #spedchat #indoorrecess Kids will love the “Move+Mixer”. A cool tool that students can use to create their own dance! Once created they are encouraged to get up and dance with an on screen “bot” doing their dance. How awesome is that? It’s very student friendly. Don’t miss the rest of the site. Kidnetic is a neat site that teaches kids about food, fun, and fitness through interactives, games, recipes and challenges. The site also features “Bright Papers” which answers questions that involve food, fitness, feelings and fun. There is also a section for parents.

Great explanation about ADHD with supporting research. #elemchat #spedchat “ADHD is not about inattention,” Gilden says. “It’s a disorder in the way people thread moment-to-moment experiences together. Children with ADHD are often disruptive because their world is moving at a much faster pace and there’s always going to be a mismatch between their world and ours.”

As part of his research, Gilden measured how people with and without the disorder tap along to the beat of a metronome. The respondents then continue tapping at the same pace for three minutes after the metronome stops. Although both groups were able to tap to the beat at 60 beats per minute, the participants with ADHD lost the rhythm when the tempo slowed down to 40 beats per minute.

“The slower the tempo, the more likely people with ADHD will be less internally consistent with themselves,” Gilden says. “It’s not that they’re inattentive, it’s just that their world is moving along at a slightly faster clip.
Putting a new spin on ADHD research, psychologist David Gilden finds the effects of the disorder may be caused by a glitch in internal timing | Feature Stories (via robot-heart-politics)
