I like it when the speaker really elaborates their point, I see a lot of comments like "save yourself 15min the point of this video was..." If someone just told me that I would just pass it off but because she was so motivational I really want to get up and move now
One of the Best Ted Talks I have ever watched. She's Amazing! That's why she received that standing ovation! She's not loud, She's engaging and her Movement and Engagement is representative of her main point! And guess what ; it works. She had me from the beginning till the end. Well done!
I saw Kim as a cheerleader throughout this presentation. Normally, I don't like cheerleaders much coz they seem to be trying to drum up enthusiasm for things that - to me - don't seem particularly important ... however, this simple idea of physical movement IS important. When I was growing up, I remember when schools cut the amount of recess time, and I thought to myself "Are they crazy?" My Mom then enrolled me in a tumbling class, to make sure I got my physical activity. Didn't appreciate it then, but grew to understand and love it. Thanks Mom. And thanks, Kim!
I would say that using the arts in physical ways would be even better than say just a 20 minute walk. Dancing, singing, rhythmic clapping and tapping while moving and speaking poetry and then sitting absolutely still for a few minutes with eyes closed doing mindfulness meditation would certainly open up the mind making it receptive to ideas.
I agree with this speaker. We definitely need more physical exercise. But It is also possible that those statistics are showing that: If the better you are at science the more you understand the importance of physical exercise, and not the other way around as those statistics concluded, that: "If you exercise more you will be more creative". Although exercise will help you function better mentally, more oxygen flow to the brain and so on, but if someone lacking logic and imagination, then nothing will help them, not even more exercise, they might lose weight, but that's all. There's plenty of proof of this. Just take a look how many people are exercising regularly and they have no creativity at all. If you want to be creative, open your mind, and think outside the box. The possibilities are infinite.
I had this idea long ago. As someone with ADD I noticed long ago that not sitting for too long and continue blood flow helps focus and feeling alert plus helps keeping heart disease and blood clots at bay. What we begin as children sets tone for what comes easy as adults. I would have a game with an alarm every X minutes and when it rings to take a lap around the classroom, walking or running as free choice. Controlled chaos! When we make things a game the brain learns faster. And what counts isn't how many minutes you work, but how many of them are productive so taking away a few minutes of controlled chaos for better focus will help more stick of the other minutes. And smiles and laughter from running around makes a happy classroom - and happy students with joy from endorphins are less likely to bully and have more compassion. I'm not saying it would vanish, but less likely. And with endorphins, the natural high, you get positive reinforcement that school is where fun happens, not only do you decrease conflict but kids are more eager to go, less stress, better immune systems, and by that, better future. We aren't books to be stacked, we are biological creatures with motivation on what feels like a personal benefit. And what do we benefit from? Fun.

Is there a single ted talk out there that doesn't revolve around the following? 1. Don't run away from challenges and fears 2. Eat better and reduce sugar / processed foods 3. Sleep more 4. Meditate 5. Exercise. They need to save us time and just tick one of these boxes, then walk off the stage.
What are some idea for getting students to move and be physically active in the classroom? I am a high school teacher in a computer science classroom. I love the idea but I am not sure how to implement it due to a lack of space and not wanting students to accidentally knock over computers. Does anyone have any ideas on getting the students to safely move in a small space?
A sound message, "a moving body & brain accelerates learning". Not a new fact, but how to get all teachers doing that. there's the challenge. But we also learn with other senses integrated. Would loved to have Kim use some visuals and lessen her 'Shouting'
I'm confused by the terminology here. She is saying children need to get physically 'fit', but that is different from merely being physically active. For example, she says obese children score better if the test is preceded by physical activity. That doesn't mean the obese children are physically fit. I'm worried that the takeaway for some viewers is that they simply need to have students take a 10 minute walk before standardized tests. The REAL message is that we need to be creating a culture of physical activity that permeates the classroom in a way that continuously enhances learning.
90% of my kids teachers are obese in elementary. In Middle school it is way different. They all look so sad and unfulfilled people, all women by the way. One man but he is physically fit.
This idea has been debunked (essentially). She's mixing correlation with causation. There is some evidence to show that obesity directly affects brain power, ability to think and process but only to a small degree. The reason obese children fail more often or do worse is because they are aware of their obesity, they become emotionally tired, de-motivated and they stop believing in their ability to achieve things. This systematically affects them at all levels in life, including with their education. This becomes a vicious cycle. There are many people out there who are obese and highly successful. These people live in a healthy environment that nurtures them, encourages them and gives them constructive criticism. This doesn't mean obesity should be accepted as-is, but the only way people can work on their bodies and their minds is from a place of positivity and a growth mindset. They need to believe that they can and will succeed/change and they also need to see that others believe that of them. This is why fat shaming is so bad- it doesn't help and it actually does more damage. Also because obesity is such an easy thing to fall into based on our basic biology and psychology it is necessary for us to have mediators who control our food enviroment- we need taxes on sugary/processed/junk food/drinks and we need to as a society talk about food, eating better and becoming healthier. The conversation about health food and healthy lifestyles has to be actively encouraged at school, work places and with our health professionals so these ideas become prevalent in society and culture.
I do think she makes a good point when she says to encourage kids to move- not just for obesity- not just to see the number on the scales to go down. Moving is a healthy part of a good life and a positive idea to live by.
yeah, kids don't learn because they don't move in class, and that's why they love physical education....how come nobody thought about that before....I have a feeling that there is a lack of holistic view in this research.
Funny how cynicism fuels so little, while passion and action rattle and shake so many more hearts, bodies and minds. Keep up the good work, Kim, work that is firmly grounded in myriad research.
Absolutely! If it was not for cynicism humanity would have disappeared long ago. And use means to increase blood pressure and releasing hormones is not the answer to a good education. It's like taking medicine for depression not knowing why you're sad in the first place. Ask students why they hate school and the answer will not be because of the chairs. There's a whole world around a child and his brain.
valerie miller I encourage you to do the same. Just because you 'apparently' agree with her, it doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the whole story. I've made my point about this speech by point out that her argument needs to have a broader view about educational institutions and their educational methods which have far more implication on children learning than just not exercise before classes...
Sorry for my misinterpretation! =D What I usually get from these researches is a valid argument that goes far enough so it doesn't touch the root problem. Of course it makes sense and it helps to enlighten things but I'd like to see the academy getting institutions by the neck! ;) Tks for your comment. Regards from Brazil.

Awesome message !!!
I like her presentation style. So different from the normal stagnant lectures
I prefer stagnant lectures.
Am I the only one who actually like that screaming. It sounds funny and makes it fun to watch
Physical activity is an intervention, not a break from learning! Amen

Coul be, could be, but why not just try and feel better, anyway? :D
LOVE THIS, I DO BELIEVE THAT getting kids to move up and thinking does work...

You know the best Ted Talk.s, they're the ones where the time just fly's by
I would give her 1000 likes all at once! Really captivating!
That I agree with it.
Thank you very much for your presentation,,you are creative.
I just loved!! you are fantastic. thank you
She's so hyped!!!
please stop screaming..
message is great... the screaming is horrible!
A really good presentation. Thanks for delivering it and sharing. Couldn't agree more.
While I like her idea, I can barely stand her.
Im with you
You took the words right outta my keyboard.
+MrPataka100 same here! :)))
SirRandomMonkey>>>>Me neither. She´s too much of an catastrophe-actress. False in every aspect of her character.
Too much screaming. And bad acting. Gave up a few minutes in.
awesome! thank you !
At last, we know why Steven Hawking is so smart; he moves so much. It also explains why all the football players are the smartest kids in the class.
David Strickland Maybe it is movement and good pedagogy.
burn!!🔥🔥🔥

To me, 5:21 translates as a sanctimonious "I did it, why can't you?!", not a compassionate "I just want you to know I feel your pain".
My wife thought I was seeing inappropriate movies. I slept on the dog's house.
Cassiano Antunes haha lol
If it wasn't for the red circle to keep her in place, she would jump out of your screen and make you move.
Vg
LOL

i did not really dig the patriotism in this but the message is great :)
+flojoho People who fall for patriotic frames of mind usually come from happy families.
+Valdesgreen really? sounds interesting, do you have any sources?
There is no proof movement makes you study better. How does it work in different classroom settings and subjects?

"if you don't move, you are not on grade level." let's not get ahead of ourselves here... JK I FREAKING LOVE HER.
YEAH!
Yes good idea
Ted talks taking notes
It is excellent
So lovely 😍
Okay so at first I was thinking "cocaine" but I love her passion so much.
Really it’s good for out kids
Well Done!
content is OK but the presentation is horrible, sorry Mam!
I thought you did a great job Kim, bump the haters
That coke... that mother f***ing cocaine.
So I just watched 15 minutes of video to discover that you are supposed to move your body to have a better intellectual performance
+Romario Lemos do Prado Thanks for saving me 15 minutes
pls stop shouting pls.. i can undersand her student.the voice was so loud. nice talk though
90% of my kids teachers are obese in elementary. In Middle school it is way different. They all look so sad and unfulfilled people, all women by the way. One man but he is physically fit.
Physical exercise is the 🔑...
+oilNightHawklio ilWli
sugar inhibits the desire to do this. Please, look up "Fat Chance: Fructose 2.0 "
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Give time back to children. Time for themselves!
Not new info. Somebody said over 100 years ago. Was just ignored like two stop streets and a robot.
I couldn't watch, she's unbearable
Lol because she's excited about education? Well we know what side of the spectrum yall sit on ;)
Somebody's had a few pots of coffee.
hard to watch. comic sans alert also

It is great pity that she didn't also search in google another topic- "how loud screaming and crying affect you lecture".....
Stop the nervous walking around. It's very annoying!
...every cell is begging for it, movemet means life....
Nice idea, however extremely horrible presentation, just puts you off
yeah, kids don't learn because they don't move in class, and that's why they love physical education....how come nobody thought about that before....I have a feeling that there is a lack of holistic view in this research.

omg-her screaming and voice exercises! No! I cant watch the rest.
I really wanted to watch this video, like I do with all TED Talks, but I couldn't stand her.
not movement but excess oxygen flow throw your brain & body.
Jeez
Calm down lady 😂😂😂
Wooow
This message couldn't be more relevant, now 5 years later. Excellent. And, those that don't like the patriotism, need to move! (out of this country).
shes trying to be pewdiepie xD
apparently this woman doesn't travel much. Narrow minded
I didn't get your point sir?
Just weird.
wtf?
Irritating
This is awful, unfortunately.. don't they get couching before speaking in public?
I think we should play chess while moving lol research
Holy Annoying!
I want this teacher so bad... it’s not even funny anymore! :)
My ears hurt .
I am so happy I left USA.
