Music and videography are essential to any dance class. Currently, I am having to use my personal phone for any music and video purposes used during my classes. If the Dance Department at Northwest Classen High School were to have its own iPad, we would be able to utilize our own playlists for each class and have a device that could be used to record students dancing for playback and educational purposes. It would also keep my students safer by having my phone available to contact administration as well as emergency personnel in the case of an emergency. My work phone is located in my office which is not close enough to my classroom to hear it ringing or to make a call in a timely manner. There are also times when I have to hold class in a different location, placing me even further away from my office. With my advanced classes, I assign a choreography project at the end of the school year where each student has to choreograph a solo for himself or herself. With the iPad, they could also video themselves and reflect on improvements or how they did. I enjoy getting to watch my students develop and grow throughout the year in dance. Having this technology would amplify their class experience!
