Introduction – draft 1
My Professional Inquiry looked into the effectiveness of using media in dance education. I looked at different forms of media. Using DVD clips to show students examples of professional dance work, using a camera to record students rehearsals and performances, using a television or projector to watch the video footage for student self-evaluation, using Power point presentations to link the previous tools together, making it more simple and time efficient to include media tools in a dance class. I created a survey to find out the opinions of others in a related profession. I interviewed another dance teacher who runs head of house competitions, University tutors in higher education, an IT technician, Deputy head of P.E at my college (who uses the ” Dart Fish” programme on an “I-Pad” to show students video feedback of their own work using two clips on a split screen to make comparisons for exam classes), a friend who produces programmes for the ITV, who explained to me that the C200 camera is now available to hire making it easier for more people to produce programmes.
I will be looking further into the information gathered and analysing results soon.
Hey Gemma,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you yesterday. I must say it was a good session, will write an update myself. By the way you left a really nice black pen behind, I gave it to Paula to keep for you.
Best Wishes,
Pauline
This sounds good... I have found that when trying to write mine I have been a bit repetitive...
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is just a start, from the exercise we did in pairs. Great to see you both. Daniel I have sent you SOW and Lesson plans for assessment / video feedback lesson (to your FB). Pauline, i did realise i forgot my pen once home, no worries. Thank you.
Good luck with your inquiries. Lets stay in touch x
Hi Gemma,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great. Good to see you making a start with the writing. Do you think you will give more of a taster of you analysis in it once you've finished that? Or did you aim to not mention the findings too soon?

Hi Ahmet.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I will be keeping the four sections separate while the work is still in process. I am continuing to gather further data, however I have also started to analysis my findings so far, so can post some ideas soon.
I would like to thank you for your continued blogs and inspiration :)
