What do teachers say about this resource? (10495)

I liked the idea of the resource and in particular, the links between computer commands and choreographic actions. It was easy to follow and I feel the students would enjoy taking part in the activities planned. The theme of the resource would work well to engage students with the link with technology.

I really liked the concept and idea and places a new spin on dance themes for 7 and 8 which typically have become a little dated and stale. I enjoyed reviewing the resource and think this hold so much potential value as its a new slant on teaching dance that i think pupils would engage with.
