Well done to Plimmerton Kindergarten...... using video clips from the digital camera to create video footage that allows a group of dancers to revisit what they have been involved in as well as plan new adventures.....Thanks also to the parents of the children for allowing this clip to be shown. After the original clip documenting children's interest in hip hop dance genre was made, they revisited it on the children's computer and chatted at length. Some of the children began journeys choreographing dance sequences. It was great to be able to show the clips of themselves on a big screen dancing to their favourite songs to be able to provoke further engagement . It certainly provoked more dance! It seems the interest is performance art- the choreographic work supports this supposition and also the joy in using a microphone to support this exploration.... I look forward to what the future of this planned project brings...... Here's some of the documentation..... and a disclaimer that we don't have any rights to the soundtrack the children are dancing to and 'covering' in song.....

Being part of the ICT project has enhanced the learning for our tamariki and opened up new communication with whanau sharing footage of what their child gets up to throughout the day, week, month. We as teachers are excited to be part of this great project. Cheers Ann for teaching us the tools to do be able to make film clips, movies and photo stories.:)
