Last Blog Post!

Well here we are the very last blog post for IP&T! I kinda already gave a semi to last post, when we did it in class. But I guess this really is the last blog post. If I was to pick the most useful technology that I learned this semester, it would be learning how to make the class website, and then using a the movie maker. The class website is so useful for any area of teaching, we live in a technology base world so being able to access and create a website just for your class is so useful. The the movie maker is a bit more catered to my style dance education. I could see myself using that to make videos of my students dancing, or using it as a teaching tool. There are many ways I could use both of these technologies in my future years of teaching. I think the way I am going to be able to have my students be active learners is doing hands on activities to critique, watch, and keep record of their dance pictures and films. Using photobucket they can create slide shows of them using their dance pictures, they can use the movie maker to make videos of them sleves or of each other dancing. And then of course using Audacity to learn basic music editing that they could then use to make up a dance. There really are lots of options. I am glad I was able to take this class because I have learned things that I will be taking with me in my future teaching years!
