@edutopia, I believe you recently posted about the behavior (lethargy, malaise, etc) of kids within the classroom impacting even those who would be high achieving. I am unable to find that post. Can you share this with me here?

We know that spicing up a learning activity by adding movement can enhance student memory—pairing the word “airplane” with pretending to be one, for example—but do we know by how much? In a 2022 meta-analysis, researchers combed through 183 studies across the last six decades to find the answer. It’s a larger-than-expected bonus: Acting out a word while saying it has an effect size of 1.23, making it a “reliable and effective mnemonic tool” to promote learning. Inside the brain, cutting-edge neuroimaging technology reveals how combining words and actions generates a more durable network of memory traces in the brain. “As a rule of thumb, the more modalities implicated, the better memory will be,” the researchers conclude.
