ICT in Dance
Using ICT in Years 7-10 dance
The new Years 7-10 Dance syllabus acknowledges the many developments in the area of dance and technology, and the significant opportunities that exist for student learning in dance through the use of ICT. Not only does the use of ICT in dance assist with learning in the classroom and the wider school context, but it also provides a continuum of learning with the study of Dance and Technology in Stage 6.
