Case Story: Texas City ISD

At Texas City Independent School District (ISD), the mission is clear: to help students reach their full potential and thrive in the path they choose. Technology plays a vital role in that mission, and with the implementation of ActiveFloor, they’ve taken a major step toward more movement, play, and active learning during the school day.

Alicia Jordal, Technology Implementation Coordinator at Texas City ISD, shares how ActiveFloor has had a remarkable impact, particularly in enhancing school learning environments.

From library to movement lab

At Texas City ISD, ActiveFloor has become an integral part of instruction across a variety of learning environments. The units are used throughout the schools by a range of educators. Teachers use a checkout system to access ActiveFloor for their classrooms, while librarians and physical education teachers also incorporate the systems into instruction to boost student engagement.

“Students love having time to get up and move. The games make them think, collaborate, and have fun—and they completely forget they’re learning!” Alicia says with a smile.

Educational impact and tailored content

With access to MyFloor, ActiveFloor’s game library, Alicia and her colleagues can easily find, adapt, and create games that fit their academic goals.

“I collect games and link them to our ‘Year at a Glance’ document so teachers can quickly find engaging, interactive learning opportunities that match their objectives,” she explains.

Positive change – and room to grow

One of the most noticeable changes since implementing the ActiveFloor is the increased excitement students show when visiting learning spaces where the units are in use. Learning through games has transformed the spaces into fun, active environments — not just places for books, but a vibrant hub for movement and community.

Alicia especially recommends ActiveFloor to librarians and PE teachers, but also sees opportunities for improvement—such as being able to search only for English-language content, filter by grade instead of age, preview games more thoroughly online, and link content more directly to learning standards.
