If you are looking for a new way to revolutionize how your classroom works, then you need to try the Decide Now app. The Decide Now app allows the teacher to associate different activities to colors on a wheel. A few suggestions for the activities are doing work with a flashlight, on the floor, or on top of the desk or table. The teacher can have a student spin the wheel to decide which option for the seatwork is chosen.

So, if you’re looking for a novel way to make dull seatwork more enjoyable, then use the stability ball (preferable the one with the feet on the bottom so kids won’t be rolling around).
Music has been described as an efficient way to soothe children for years now. Some research has shown that learning with music can actually enhance your ability to learn, as well as get better grades. Classical or soft music works best.
