-Dance to Learn with RM Easiteach Dance Mat. RM Easiteach Dance Mat is a brand new content pack for use with RM Easiteach-

What is RM Easiteach Dance Mat?

Kevin Pawsey, Managing Director for RM Educational Software, Inc states “RM Educational Software RM Easiteach Dance Mat has been developed in direct response to educators looking to deploy new and innovative technologies as a way of engaging and motivating students. We understand the requirement to work on platforms that students use at home and aim to bring those into school to being an additional dimension to their learning. Education does not just happen in school and RM Educational Software RM Easiteach Dance Mat aims to bridge this gap”.

When used with an interactive whiteboard or projector, one student can dance but others will be sure to join in. Teachers and students can choose from over 135 ready-made curriculum focused activities, use them as is or edit them to match individual objectives.

Teachers and pupils can even make their own activities from scratch using the RM Easiteach tools.

The pack comes 'ready-to-dance', complete with a dance mat but can be used just as successfully without a dance mat connected, either using a mouse , wireless pad, or an interactive whiteboard.

The pack will cover a variety of curriculum areas such as Math, English Language Arts, Science, and Foreign Languages.

Sample math activities:

  • Step on numbers that add to 10. Students are shown the number 6 and they leap on 4 to make 10
  • Step on the decimal. Students are shown ¼, and have to step on 0.25, shown ¼ + ¼ and have to step on 0.5…
  • Each activity gets progressively more challenging as students use it.
 
Pawsey concludes “RM Easiteach has been a very successful platform for interactive technologies in the K-12 Market and RM Educational Software RM Easiteach Dance Mat demonstrates how RM Easiteach is becoming the standard interactive software for all interactive devices. We are intending to launch more RM Easiteach Dance Mat activities over the next year including a focus on teaching English where English is not the first language and also focusing on teaching and learning Spanish.”
