GREENVILLE, S.C., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ActivEd, the leader in movement and learning lessons and parent company of the Walkabouts active learning education platform, has announced the launch of 180s, a new addition to its movement-based supplemental curriculum lineup. This launch coincides with National Education Technology Day, celebrating the significant impact of educational technology in enhancing learning and teaching within K-12 schools.
The 180s program engages students in grades 3 through 5 with realistic outdoor sports and games that require full-body movements, all while delivering lessons aligned with each state’s standards in language arts, math, and social studies.
According to ActivEd founder and CEO Dr. Julian A. Reed, the positive feedback received from the Walkabouts platform, designed for PreK through 2nd-grade students, inspired the development of 180s. He stated, “The overwhelmingly positive response to the Walkabouts platform inspired us to create 180s, which is age-appropriate, engaging, and fun for students in 3rd through 5th grades. The fact that our launch coincides with National Education Technology Day is perfectly fitting.”
With the introduction of 180s, the Walkabouts platform now offers a comprehensive range of gamified, movement-based lessons for students from PreK through 5th grade, along with corresponding Walksheets—worksheets that incorporate a movement component. Teachers utilizing the Walkabouts platform have consistently reported improvements in student cognitive abilities, classroom behavior, and academic achievement.
