I love these ideas! My favorites are to take a nap, (I call these POWER NAPS) and tidy up. I cannot work if I do not feel like my space is tidy. I love the graphic you made as well. It is well organized and not too busy.
These are awesome ideas and things I will discuss with my students. I always find that cleaning, specifically folding clothes, is very therapeutic when I need a break from work.
All ideas are good, but personally, I especially love taking a walk for a change of scenery. It's perfect for this warm season with beautiful flowers blooming and the pleasant breeze.
This blog, like the AI blog, is requiring shift in mindset as it relates to teaching in our new culture of students and learners. Moving around and napping seem to contradict everything we have been taught about how to ensure a student is engaged and learning, but we have to move ahead like our world and culture, not have a strong hold on the way "we use to do it" or "how I was taught to do it". A new day requires a new way!
This blog gives students a few suggestions that can help them reset and regain focus to get tasks completed. Sometimes students need to walk away from their task and give their brains a break. In the classroom, teachers often give brain breaks so I think this blog is very informative and proves good points. Students cannot work endlessly, without ever taking a break, and still be expected to perform at peak.

ReplyDeleteI love taking a walk or exercising to take a break from working or studying. I feel like I come back refreshed and am so much more productive.
