Testimonial from LA JOYA ISD in Texas: Ergotron Learnfit standing desk-

-          What was it like before using the LearnFit’s and After?

Teachers were used to delivering instruction from the “front of the classroom” and now they are able to do so from anywhere in the classroom.  Teachers are also able to walk with their LearnFit desks to any area of the campus, transporting equipment/items needed for meetings, presentations, etc.  Principals have loved using the LearnFit desks in a variety of ways – conducting classroom observations, stationed in hallways for supervision while continuing to complete daily work/tasks, meeting presentations, used during testing days in areas to house documents, sign in sheets, monitoring logs, etc. to name a few.

-          What problems were you trying to solve by deploying the Desks?

We wanted teachers to be more mobile while delivering instruction in the classroom without sacrificing access to equipment to project to/from.  We want teachers to teach from the “power zone”.   The Learnfit desks allow teachers to do this by having their laptop or iPad with them no matter where they are at in the classroom.  We have equipped every classroom with a smart TV and at some campuses with interactive panels paired with an Apple TV that makes casting lesson materials to the smart TV quite seamless.  Teachers are able to be in close proximity to students as needed without interrupting the lesson instruction.

-          What made the LearnFit Rolling Height Adjustable Desks stand out from other Options out there?

Simple, quality in the entire item.  The ease of rolling desk on ANY surface.  I had previously ordered a class set of these LearnFits and found them to be a game changer in the way that they provided mobility at all times.  These desks provide flexibility from sitting to standing to meet different needs for teachers.

Enhancing Physical Health

Standing desks like the Ergotron LearnFit Tall are designed to promote a healthier lifestyle within the classroom setting. Here’s how standing while learning contributes to better physical health:

• Increased     Heart Rate: Standing rather than sitting helps keep the heart rate     elevated, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Regularly     standing can help counteract the sedentary nature of traditional classroom     seating.
• Increased     Calorie Burn: Standing engages more muscles compared to sitting,     leading to higher calorie expenditure throughout the day. This can be a     small but significant step toward better weight management and overall     physical fitness.
• Greater     Insulin Effectiveness: Regular standing has been shown to improve     insulin sensitivity, which is important for regulating blood sugar levels     and reducing the risk of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes.

By integrating standing desks into the classroom, schools can foster a more active and health-conscious environment for students and teachers alike.

Boosting Classroom Engagement

Standing desks can also play a crucial role in enhancing classroom engagement. Here’s how:

• Improved     Oxygen and Nutrient Transport: Standing desks facilitate better blood     circulation, which ensures that oxygen and nutrients are more effectively     delivered to the brain and body. This can lead to increased alertness and     focus during lessons.
• Enhanced     Engagement: Students who use standing desks often exhibit higher     levels of engagement. When students are more active, they tend to be more     attentive and involved in the learning process. This active engagement is     crucial for maintaining interest and participating effectively in     classroom activities.

Improving Academic Performance

The benefits of standing desks extend to academicperformance in several ways:

• Enhanced     Cognitive Function: The combination of better physical health and     increased engagement helps improve cognitive abilities. Students who are     more alert and physically active are better equipped to understand and     retain information.
• Higher     Test Scores: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that     students using standing desks often achieve better test scores. The     improved concentration and mental clarity that come from a more active     classroom environment contribute to better academic outcomes.
