Kinesthetic Learning Strategies

Kinesthetic Learning Strategies

Front: Physical movement can provide an additional entry point to CS learning for students of all ages. It can also improve understanding, retention, social skills, behavior, and brain functioning.

Back: Include options for students to engage in CS learning activities through movement and working with physical materials. Example strategies include: "acting out" code, planning with printed and cut out code blocks or snippets, incorporating robots and making activities, and using Total Physical Response to teach CS vocabulary. Support students who want to stand while writing code or collaborating (most tech workplaces feature standing desks).
