During cold winter weather, the students are forced to have their recess inside. This can lead to my students being very disruptive during class due to lack of burning energy. I had to solve this issue. I found various YouTube videos of Just Dance and we began to dance. The was good for learning styles (visual, audio, and kinesthetic). The videos ranged from very slow and easy dance moves to fast paced and difficult dance moves. I was surprised to find that how fast my students learned different dance move sets. Some students were a bit uncomfortable dancing due to their shyness and this is one thing I had not anticipated (which was quickly resolved with one on one coaching). This is one of many positive example of technology in classroom when paired with clear instructions and guidelines from the teacher.
