Interactive dancing

In Montana, school districts are incorporating an interactive dance program to help students K-8 understand fire. The dance includes materials such as terminology and hazards of fire from the fire science curriculum. This is a great idea. Montana is more of a dry grassland state making wildfires an actual concern. This dance helps children understand the dangers of fire and even side information such as affected species and how there can be benefit to fire. You can find the article here Interactive dance would be an excellent tool for all learning types, visual (the dance movements), audio (the music), and even kinesthetic (the actual dancing). Dancing will also engage the children and provide a good outlet for energy. Providing choreography for more subjects is a good idea, and will put some fun in the classroom.

Clinton ISD has integrated apple technology to engage their elementary students. You can read the whole article here. I really enjoyed this piece and it is recent, within the last two weeks. It is great to see students motivated and learning.
