1. Search Engine
Firstly every time i go online i always like to open up Google as i think its the easiest and quickest way to find the information you are looking for, as it refers you to the knowledge of the key word you have put into the google search bar.
As the key word brings up a wide range of websites it enables me to have a broadened knowledge of the subject.This refers to my professional practice as the other day i was creating a lesson plan behind Matilda the musical and i did some in depth research into this musical and i used google as the search engine to develop my knowledge.
2.Social Media
Social Media is a big part of my professional networking the little widgets always appear on websites for you to share the information to a larger audience on your own social networking sites to create a larger awareness.
The new job that i am starting in January have spoken in depth about using social media sharing the children's work on the school website ,video sharing websites and their Facebook page. this shows that schools are wanting the larger audience see what the children are achieving !
In addition to this using social media its a great way to find out about dance courses, jobs, and form larger networks with professionals in the performing arts/dance sector.
3. Performing Arts/ Dance professionals
By speaking to Performing arts and Dance Professionals that have had many years experience in the industry they are able to guide me in the correct direction in what i want to achieve in a certain area of the industry . By gaining good relationships with performing arts / dance professionals they can recommend you for work to clients and also give you contacts for work and qualifications. The information and knowledge they offer is certainly infomation to take on board for the future for your career.
4.Books Articles and Google Scholar
In my professional Practice i not only use the online way to find information regarding the subject but also I research through books and articles regarding the subject this is a frequent occurrence in my professional practice when i start my planning regarding lesson plans and selecting specific subjects suitability for the children.
5.Films and Documentaries
If I am studying a subject that i am not too sure about i like to look at films and documentaries regarding the specific subject as i believe that it enables me to write down some notes about the film / documentary and it gives me a base to the subject. for example I watched a film 'George Balanchine’s Jewels' to enable me to have a greater understanding of the specific characteristics of George Balanchine style for my professional practice it enabled me to broaden my subject knowledge.
