Recharge Your Students' Minds: Embracing Brain Breaks During Testing Season

4/9/2025

0 Comments

 

It is state testing season in Michigan—the time when students' brains are working overtime and No. 2 pencils, or now-a-days QWERTY keyboards are worn to nubs. As educators, we recognize the intensity of this period and the importance of maintaining our students' focus and well-being. Enter the superhero of the classroom: the brain break.

​The education focused website, Edutopia, has a great list of resources for teachers to use from grades Early Kindergarten through 12th grade. You can visit, https://www.edutopia.org/package/brain-breaks-for-your-classroom/, to find the entire collection of articles, videos, and links.

Research underscores the significance of these short, intentional pauses during learning. These breaks not only rejuvenate students but also enhance productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.

Videos are a great way to share information with students. They get awesome visuals and audio that otherwise may not be possible in a classroom environment. The issue as educators we run into though, is if the watchers actually understand what they have watched. Some of this issue can now be eliminated by using PlayPosit (​www.playposit.com). PlayPosit allows you to take any YouTube video and make it into an interactive response. You can ask students simple yes/no questions, multiple choice questions, free response questions, and even host a discussion right within a video! 

All the students and/or learners responses are recorded and can be graded to see how well they did. With just a few clicks you can make your own interactive video and get rocking. To see how, watch the short tutorial below or jump right in by going to www.playposit.com! 

If you want to try PlayPosit as student, check out this link to learn about the Seaweed Sheep: ​www.playposit.com/listcode/922359/e71a4a/open/anonymous

ClassroomScreen is a great classroom management resource for all grade levels and subjects. It can allow a teacher to help facilitate class discussions, redirect students who are off task, display information, and do easy exit polls of a class. It works on any device you would use, Windows, Mac, Chromebooks, iPads/iPhones, and Android devices. If you have an interactive projector you could even control it from there! Watch the video below to see how ClassroomScreen can be used in your class.
