Judy Shasek’s Summary

Casual games reach 3-400+ million per month across all ages. Between work, school and leisure computer time people spend 5-9+ hours a day in a CHAIR interacting with a screen. Because we love the connection between physical activity, learning, productivity, energy and FUN, we developed FOOTGAMING (http://footgaming.blogspot.com) Our FootPOWR pad is a computer peripheral that can do anything a mouse can do. You simply stand and move your feet to move the cursor. It adds "exergame" capability to thousands of existing computer games and programs, including "educational" games. In the workplace or at school, physical activity tied to computer user-interface makes good sense. We work with partners in casual gaming, workplace wellness, NCLB and school technology, with a keen focus on adding more wellness and brain productivity for all.
We develop programs and synergy among people, products and programs that connect fitness with proactive learning in the K-12 setting and workplace productivity. Because activity is so crucial for academic success and overall well-being of our young people, we researched the literature and developed Generation FIT (www.generation-fit.com) and ExerLearning http://exerlearning.blogspot.com.

  • ExerLearning Evangelist

    Generation FIT

    (Health, Wellness and Fitness industry)

    March 2005 — Present (4 years 9 months)

    NCLB and reduction in PE for most K-12 schools has done more than add to the overweight and sedentary lifestyle problem of our kids. It has caused further challenges and lack of academic success for our most challenged learners. We are minds AND bodies. 10 minute bursts of rhythmic aerobic exercise leads to better academic success than 20 minutes of tutoring, That was the piece of research that launched ExerLearning. We added student-led programs of proactive engagement and success. We can harness the power of Generation FIT to marketing. sales and distribution gains for select video game publishers.

    Separate from that project is a wellness advocacy adventure created by a group of teens. They are collecting 10,000+ commercials, PSAs and other digital projects made by kids for kids. They are countering the 24/7 onslaught of "big marketing" that's making them the fattest and most unfit generation ever. They are tired of being victims. http://get-outta-my-face.blogspot.com Look for their story as a documentary film soon.
