Students reflect
How can we better understand world cultures and our own cultural identities through the arts?

How can we use reflective tools and guided discussions to further our learning process?



How can technology support and guide our process of learning and teaching; planning and reflection?


Two teachers and a classroom of eighth grade students at Ellis Middle School in Austin, MN are collaborating with staff at the Perpich Center for Arts Education and Minneapolis Public Schools Online Professional Development. Together they interact with specific dance learning objects (including short video clips of professional dance artists affiliated with the Southern Theater) and various reflective tools that are located on Artful Online. Students and project staff also use video conferencing to reinforce and augment their work together.
