//Technology is a dance teacher's dream. Explore ways for teachers and students to use Google sites, Google presentations, video, digital photography, GarageBand and more, for creating, recording, reflecting upon, collaborating, and assessing student work. //

//After taking this workshop, participants will be familiar with a variety of ways technology can be used by students to digitally create, record, reflect upon, and share their creative process, daily performing arts studies, and performance work. Participants will also gain ideas and inspiration for their own work as teachers, recorders, and assessors of student work. //

Instructions for attendees: Participants should bring their laptops. It would be helpful for participants to have their own google account and GarageBand software installed. It will also be useful for participants to bring a digital video/still camera and a cord for downloading images onto their laptop. None of this equipment is absolutely essential if participants are interested in learning by observation. As preparation, participants might check out examples and bring questions regarding the TS Dance website: []
