Upper level Academy Jazz and Ballet classes are helping me test out the transition from Edmodo to Google Classroom for our daily journals. So instead of grabbing spirals, or doing journals online at home, students grab the iPads and tap into their original thought expression with the pre-posted prompts. Then we are using the class feature of Quizlet for recording their daily vocabulary words into flash cards that will be shared with the class for later pre-test activities.
Our new course Dance and Media Communications dove into the curriculum this week also using the iPads for journaling as well as exploring the camera when exploring identity through movement and digital imaging. A partner activity explored how to capture meaning of movement behind a lense and capabilities of the iPad camera. We then airdropped our favorites to guide our class discussion regarding what we discovered and saw. We ended the week with the class' favorite activity...taking action selfies to represent their personalities through the movement inside a still image.
Lastly, upper level classes began taking photos for our PIE Grant Project to map out, plot, and analyse our strength and flexibility growth of specific dance moves throughout the year.
