Year 11 and 12 Dance Blog

This Blog has been set up as an online blog/journal that can be used to record tasks, see examples of things shared by your teacher, load photos and videos, and download links for assessment against Achievement Standards.

It is a way for you and your teacher to keep track of your learning and for others to post or add comments regarding posts. It is important that this blog serves its purpose and that you visit the blog on a regular basis. It is also recommended that you download the smart phone app (IT'S FREE).

You will see that each of the Achievement standards has its own page so throughout the year you will be expected to find the standard you are working on to assist you.

This blog will replace books and note taking so in order to make this work you will also need to set up your own blogger and google account. Call it your 'name' Dance Blog (e.g. Caroline's Dance Blog). You have creative licence to set this up however you wish and add photos.  When you have created your blog make sure you copy and paste the link here for your teacher.

If you get stuck signing up make sure you have a look at the instructions on how to sign in to your google apps to find blogger.
