NDEO Conference

The Last week from Thursday and Saturday, I came to National Dance Education Oranigation's conference in NEW YORK! The first day, at that my situation, I still have a summer class that the last day of Tech class. So, I couldn't focus on the conference until Friday.
There are various subject's presentation in paper, movement and workshop.

In conference I definitely can see the technology power. The most of presenter used power point, vim project and youtube video clip in the power point. And also many technology subject presented in there such as Integrating video technology into the dance technique curriculum, Getting jiggy with it:Using technology in the dance class, Video as a tool to inform and create choreographic studies, Promoting best practice with technology resources in teaching dance performances and so on. Unfortunately, I can't participated in that subject.

However,with technology subject,I participated in 'Using video clips to help students understand dance in a deeper way' workshop. This workshop provided the participants with strategies that will help students observe, describe, compare, and think about dance and also apply certain dance skills.
Sometimes there is not enough time or resources to delve into a complete dance or dance form in depth. So, I think use short video clips can be successfully used to help students develop a knowledge of dance.
