=IDEAS=
 * Students must produce a series of How-To videos on different aspects of dance (warm up, different styles of dance, etc.) and load them to your CHS Dance YouTube Channel
 * Students create dance lessons for elementary students and travel to elementary campuses to teach dance during P.E. Students must learn about elementary students' anatomy/physiology, maturity, classroom management skills, write out complete lesson plan, and video themselves working with the students to create a portfolio artifact on teaching.
 * Year-long digital dance portfolios created in Google Docs (or Moodle) Include specific topics (the science of dance/anatomy and physiology), styles of dance, a teaching piece, etc.
 * Work with other departments to create topics for your students (history, literature, language, art). Students will then learn about those topics and choreograph and dance original pieces - they will also create a multimedia report explaining how their piece relates to the topic.
 * Students will choreograph a multimedia piece that involves dance and technology (video, text, images, editing effects, etc) (Could be an edited dance video that incorporates editing tools for effect or a live production using projected multimedia). Students will perform/share their recordings.
 * Students create multimedia reports on the different styles of dance studied in class.
 * Classroom Critiques - students video themselves and post to Moodle forums - then they and their classmates must respond with critiques and suggestions for improvement
 * Using video subtitle programs (I have one that's online and free) - have students subtitle dance videos for specific items - muscle group movement, dance terminology/vocabulary, etc.
 * Create green screen videos of dance that students must storyboard, prepare, and collaborate with Nikki Looper's students to create.
 * Create an online Dance magazine where students must create the content on a weekly/monthly basis covering all aspects of dance in your curriculum.
 * Have students interview dancers/choreographers/etc. using live interviews/Skype/email and share out their finished interviews (PPT, video, or as articles for on online dance magazine created by them - partner with journalism for some mini-lessons on journalistic writing and interviewing skills).
 * Work with theatre class to recreate a famous play/production/children's fairytale completely in dance - perform it (if you did a fairytale or children's story, you could tour to the elementary schools to perform)
 * Cafeteria flash mob - have your students use technology to plan, organize, rehearse, produce, and record a large-scale cafeteria flash mob!
