MVSD People of Dance

On Thursdays I usually use our social media platforms to share using the #ThrowbackThursday trend where users participate by sharing a memory (recent or distant). These posts don’t usually make it to the blog but when a memory popped up today I was surprised to see I hadn’t placed it as a feature on the blog in the past.

Given the Covid-19 pandemic, we wanted to find a way to offer technology-related professional development to staff while having fun and staying safe during the 2020/2021 year. This project saw staff practice their understanding of collaborative documents and cloud-based storage systems such as OneDrive. Through filming their clips, staff had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the video tools available through their schools laptops, tablet devices, and school-specific resources. Filming and sharing of clips was done through tools such as OneDrive, Seesaw, and Flipgrid to practice the multiple ways in which video evidence can be collected and shared.

This video was created as a way to bring joy, build community, and practice technology skills; we’re proud to highlight 11 different schools/buildings and a variety of divisional departments.
