Interpretation of the Article

Topic: Technology Support of Traditional Learning Styles, Technology Providing New learning Tools, Steps in Integrating Technology into Dance Education

What is the author's main point?

   The authors main point is to inform his audience how technology integrated into dance education is a great way to enhance the learning environment, and better help students to perform better through their individual learning styles.

What does the author say?

  The author says that technology integration helps students with all learning styles and paces and helps them to grow and learn more effectively.  The author also says that technology is a new learning tool.  It is a new learning tool in that it provides the students with new learning equipment and things that they can use to aid them while they are learning.

What do I think?

 I think that this is true because children seem to learn better when technology is involved.  Computer labs where put into elementary schools to aid students in every subject that they learn.  This made the students more interested in learning.  In Dance education it does the same thing.  Things like film allow students to view how they are supposed to look when they execute a certain movement.
