Toe Tapping Technology

Help me give my students the opportunity to use the latest music technology. A MacBook would allow them to download and edit music that they use for performances fusing their creativity with science and design.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are creative, talented and driven young adults. They watch TV and movies and see the brilliant dancers that are in the entertainment industry. They want to be like those dancers. They are insistent on learning new skills and are always thirsty for more. My students are in grades six through eight and are predominantly Hispanic. I teach all ability levels and all exceptionalities, because everyone can learn to dance! Many of my students cannot afford to attend classes at a dance studio. Their parents do not have the time or the means to have them take part in such activities. My class provides them the opportunity to get quality dance instruction at their school and at no cost to the families. For many of my students, this is the only opportunity they have to take dance classes and perform in dance recitals.

My Project

My students are in need of a MacBook laptop that they can use in class and for our dance performances.

They will use the MacBook to help with instruction, musical editing, and recitals.

The students in my program design their performances in all aspects. They choose music, costuming and work on choreography. Having this laptop would allow them to use it as a tool in this process. They would be able to use iTunes and GarageBand to edit their music and to create original mixes. In iMovie,​ they can create their own edited videos that they could use to advertise performances and to share with the school. It also gives us a way to upload videos to our class site and other shared sites so that students may rehearse at home and not miss any instruction. At the actual performances, the MacBook would allow us to run our music off of a dependable device that will play the music correctly, with good quality sound and will not cause interruptions in the show.
