Being a Wise Consumer of Information about EDPY

The video clip about Allison Cameron’s classroom was interesting. It was about a classroom full of high risk boys that were not doing very well in school. Cameron introduced exercise in her classroom and her students improved in their marks. There are many studies that say exercise improves people’s concentration, and metal health. There is now a study going on in Red Deer right now trying to prove this it is called “Move your Mood”. They get people to volunteer to go into middle school classrooms and do activities with them during lunch hour and see if their marks improve. I think this is something that we believe right now and I think it is true, but it was not believed before, because children were out playing all the time they didn’t have video games or TV so they were more active. We believe now that exercise improves student’s marks and concentration, but it may change in the future when we have more information that is why there are always studies taking place. Also something may work for one group of students but it may not work for another group of students.
