In today's 'new normal' students are spending more time on computers for every single class. Teachers have all been highly encouraged to digitize as much of their lesson material as possible. While this challenge is possible and offers some exciting new tools it translate into students spending hour starring at a computer screen. Generally computer use is done while sitting down.

I believe this experience will improve learning, increase engagement and benefit student's overall physical and emotional health.
