We've known for a while now that excessive sitting is bad for your body, but now research suggests that sitting is also bad for cognitive function.
More time in a chair = reduced brain health. We still expect students to sit at a desk for 7 hours a day, even though it's bad for them, and the freedom to move around makes students happier, healthier, and smarter! Unfortunately, my school has the type of desks that are relatively inflexible (with the desk and chair attached with a metal bar.) I am requesting 4 Fitdesk table top standing desks to convert my traditional desks into active learning stations for my students. My plan is to create a row of standing desks in the back of my room and allow students the ability to rotate to these active learning stations throughout the period. Standing desks will help my students maximize their brain power!
