Elisha Thompson USING VIDDLER IN VIDEO CRITIQUES Objective: To learn how to better communicate about dance and aesthetics. To help encourage learning by opening a positive learning environment for constructive criticism and positive reinforcement via the internet. To learn how technology can help in collaborating. Time: 7 class periods Lesson Plan: Lesson 1 and 2: Put students into groups of four. Have them create a one to two minute dance. The last 20 minutes of class 2, get on Viddler.com and look up Cool Dance. (A dance you have posted in the past) And show how to post comments. Embed code:  Assignment: Before the next class they must sign up for viddler.com and find once dance video they enjoy. Lesson 4: Film and post dances on Viddler. When students are not posting their video on Viddler, they are practicing. Using the videos the students just filmed and posted, show how they can comment on a video using the comment link in Viddler, not the video comment. Assignment: Put two groups together and have one group watch and comment on the others video using the online comment. The other group should watch and brainstorm ideas on how they can incorporate comments. Lesson 4: Have students work on a clean their dances based off the comments they had received. Assignment: Have students watch their own video and comment for others in their group to see so they may brainstorm on the dance via the internet. Lesson 5: Work on dances. Lesson 6: In performance space, film and post dances again, erase the old one. Assignment: Have students watch all the videos and comment on their favorite and what made it aesthetically pleasing to them. Short little blurps not long ones. Lesson 7: Teach them how to get the embed code for their video so they can post it on their blog, youtube, or facebook.
