Didactics and Technology in Education

It’s estimated that American school kids spend roughly 60-70 percent of their day sitting – a figure that might help explain why roughly 30 percent of all kids are obese, according to the CDC. Educators are now on board trying to help students become more active and healthy and less likely to pack on the pounds. It began with better menu offerings in school cafeterias and the elimination of snack and soda vending machines.

Now in several school districts across the country, elementary classrooms are being outfitted with standing desks,  a fixture in many workplaces across the country today.
