Technology Integration in Dance Education

This professional development learning plan discusses technology goals for a K-5 dance teacher. The teacher's current technology strengths include using educational websites, Apple TV, smart boards, document cameras, Chromebooks, and iPads. Their school needs technology growth, as the outdated Chromebooks are difficult for students to use and there is no computer lab. The teacher's goals for the next academic year are to design technology-integrated dance lessons for grades 3-5, implement 3 new dance technology sites, and use technology to connect students to professional dancers. To accomplish these goals, the teacher will research other dance teachers, attend professional development, and conduct their own research on integrating technology into dance.

Subject dance
Your current technology strengths: Discuss your strong points and knowledge of technology. Be detailed.

I have expertise in the following educational technology:


-Educational websites/tools (Google classroom, Socrative, kahoot, dreambox, waggle,

-Apple Tv for iPad and smart board


-Smart board and Promethean board
-Document Camera
-Chromebook and apple iPad knowledge

I have had the opportunity to work in schools that provide children with 1 to 1 technology. My
first teaching experience provided each student with apple iPad, so I was able to become an
expertise at apple products. I was provided a mac book and iPad, so I was able to use skills
like apple sharing to project activities from my device to the smart board. In my current school
of employment, I have learned how to use a promethean board and document camera.

Trends in technology growth for your department or school: Discuss the current state of technology in your school
and where it may be heading. (Ex Are there computer labs? Are there ipads? Etc) This section requires a narrative
response.

My current school have an opportunity for growth as it relates to technology use. We do not
have a school library therefore we are without a technology specialist that could trouble shoot,
or train teachers in different areas of educational technology. Students grades 3-5 are 1 to 1
with Chromebooks. These Chromebooks are very old with missing keys and often make it
very hard for students to complete work. I think that we could possibly invest in a variety of
technology options for students. For example, computer labs with desktops in the event
students Chromebook is not accessible. I also think we should move in a direction that allows
for students to rent school devices so that they are able to access online work at home. I think
that COVID-19 will require all administrators to rethink this technology policy in schools and
at home.
Goals- Individual – List 3-5 goals for one academic year

1. I hope to be able to design/ incorporate technology within dance instruction for grades
3-5.
2. Learn about and implement at least 3 new dance technology sites in my classroom.
3. Use technology to create a hub for connecting students to professional dancers during
in class lessons.

Specific Annual Strategy to Accomplish Goal: Describe what it will take to reach this goal

I will accomplish the goal set by researching and connecting with other dance teachers in the
school district. I will also attend professional development opportunities that are designed for
dance educators. Additionally, I will conduct my own research to find ways to integrate and
infuse technology within my dance curriculum.
