Phone call with Adesola 18/10/17
A bit late in posting this as I've been busy researching my literature now I'm on the right tracks.
During my phone call with Adesola she explained that we are not trying to prove a point in your inquiry but to look more in depth at it such as;

 1. The history behind are inquiry or the science. 
2. What other researchers have found out about the topic
3. what I want to gain and develop in my own practice from this.
4. look into the ethics around my inquiry such as children.
5. whats the funding like around my inquiry
6. is there a difference in different countries, such as America and England.

 This really help me to think forward and ahead but I really do think that I will be on the right tracks from now on as now I'm thinking my inquiry heading towards teaching and dance education in primary school as this is something I would like to gain and develop my own practice in.

Task 3a: Current Networks What are the current and different ways (tools) that you have, or do, engage your professional network? A main professional network I have been using is social media such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs. As its now a much stronger form of networking to connect with people as now they have group pages forming in certain professions. For example I am in a group called "Dancers & Dance Teachers" "ISTD Dance teachers" and others. This is where members of the group can ask each other questions relating to dance and also to share ideas, music, lesson plans, talk about experiences you have had and be connected with other dance teachers. Also Job vacancies often get posted if a dance school is looking for a new teacher or some company is looking for dancers. These groups are really beneficial as I am always connected with up coming events and opportunities for me and my students.  What are the established (and different) ways that...

Integrating  arts at an early stage. Even though my inquiry is looking at dance in primary school ages and how dance is incorporated in to the classroom and teaches experiences with this. The Washington Post wrote an article about a kindergarten teacher "using theater and dance to teach math and it's working..." very interesting. Melissa Richardson a drama teacher was sent from the wolf trap institute to collaborate with kindergarten teacher, Carol Hunt to encourage students in her class using arts integration. The article talks and gives an  about how they incorporated arts into the classroom and the statistics of doing so compare to other students not having the experience from the wolf trap program.  For more information go to :  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/teachers-are-using-theater-and-dance-to-teach-math--and-its-working/2016/02/22/61f8dc0c-d68b-11e5-b195-2e29a4e13425_story.html?utm_term=.c9a5c246457a I wanted to find out mor...

The deeper I look the more interesting this inquiry gets... Another piece of literature which really opened my eyes to how dance can really be integrated to any lessons such as in this case mathematics. I came across a website called "Dance Equations - Teach Math through Dance" - It is a website offering teaching resources just as books and music with lesson plans in to help teachers teach math in a fun active way.  It also explains how math and dance are similar in ways such as angles and symmetry etc.  Here is a video about Dance Equations:  https://videopress.com/v/QFx12DGU and the Link for the website if your interested in having a look: https://danceequations.com/ Dance Equations are also on the web 2.0 platform such as you tube and Facebook. Expanding and passing on ideas and knowledge to people all over the world.
