  1. Internet and Education Renée Maloney

  2. Teachers and the Internet Educators use the internet in an attempt at a collaborative approach. Teachers use it to share resources and document experiences. Students use the internet to blog processes in compositions, for example the Vineblogs Initiative developed by Drama Australia through the Vine Project as part of the IDEA Conference in 2007. Vineblogs is about planting the SEED (starting point or stimulus material) of human ideas and fleshing it out throughout a group or individual task. It enables students to post journal individually on collaborative pieces to track their process and to share ideas with other group members. This serves as a tool for self, peer and teacher assessment.

  3. Youtube The introduction of YouTube in 2005 gave rise to everyone being able to access videos and upload their own videos. Companies use to for advertising their products. As a teacher, it can be used to spark inspiration amongst students as stimulus material or as teacher professional development using their instructional videos. As a dance educator this concept of using videos to learn began with “How to” sections in dance videos to learn dance moves from the movies for example Honey, You got Served, High School Musical. In addition to this, instructional dance videos have been released in series such as those listed on www.learntodance.com.

  4. With the introduction of YouTube this has brought it close to everyone’s fingertips. It has also encouraged people to take up dancing after several years break or after never having had tried it. Like dance reality television programs YouTube has brought dancing into everyone’s life due to ease and accessibility of the programs. “YouTube has now evolved from an amateur film-sharing site into an enormous, online film archive with easy access from your computer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Furthermore with YouTube as inspiration, numerous other online video web sites have now emerged (e.g., GoogleVideo, DailyMotion, Brightcove, iFilm, etc.), rapidly increasing the quantity of video content available online”.(Micolich 2008 pg 12).

  5. During a search for inspiration for a hip hop dance it was noted that many people posted comments regarding their thoughts on the dance and how it has impacted them. One YouTube user posted this; emmyp1 “WOW! OH MY GOD! i've (sic) danced all my life but stopped a year ago because of a crappy teacher, but now I wanted to start to practice again so that's why i'm (sic) watching inspiration on YouTube. and this one was AMAZING. GREAT corography (sicc) and TERREFIC (sic) dancers! SO SO GREAT! You know what? This video changed my life because now i've (Sic) decided to start dance again. THANK YOU! /Emmy, Sweden“

  6. This post in response to the ‘Ayo Technology’ dance (http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Vc1TOZinM8w) demonstrates how dance is a universal language the I Candy dance group who posted their clip on YouTube is from Bath, England and Emmyp1 is watching the clip from Sweden. Who ever would have thought that a young woman from Sweden would find inspiration from a non-professional dance group in the North of England?
