New Literature....


After days and days of more researching I came across a professor Marilyn Berrett and ex-student of BYU, Erika Cravath. 

Erika Cravath researched about integrating dance into the classroom for her honors thesis project with Marilyn Berrett being one of her mentors on this journey.

Erika has also published a book in 2011 the title being "Creative Dance Integration Lesson Plans by Erika Cravath"

It's a guide for teachers to help integrate dance into their lessons also giving example lesson plans at the end of the book. 


Also here is a video of Marilyn Berrett and Erika Cravath conducting a workshop to teachers on how they can incorporate dance into the classroom environment.

    thankyou for sharing these links. I have watched the video today. Her statement of how 'dance is a natural vehicle for children but for adults it feels awkward' relates to some questions that are cropping up in my inquiry on arts in education.

Thinking about my inquiry being around children. I researched into ethics around children and found a very interesting read here is a link as I think it will be beneficial for others to.  www.ethicsdance.co.uk/resources/downloads/A-Dancer-is-A-Person.pdf

Task 1b: Professional communication technologies Here is my first initial thoughts and ideas to this task. More research and ideas to follow. Web 2.0... Honestly this is the first time I have ever heard of this phrase, it refers to the second generation of web based communities such as social-networking sites like Facebook, twitter, blogs and collaboration sites such as wikis. It also provides an opportunity for the reader to become the creator and for the creator and reader to interact.  How does it impact on my profession as a dance teacher? As a dance teacher myself using web 2.0 helps me keep in touch with up coming news and events from examining boards, potential dance teaching jobs and upcoming performances and festivals. Using web 2.0 also helps me to promote myself as a teacher by uploading pictures and videos of my work. It also provides a extended and easier reach to employees, costumers, partners and suppliers. Whilst at the same time strengthening the ...
