=Welcome to Ellaysa Newton's Personal Learning Network!= I am currently in my first semester of graduate school. I am a mother and in full-time ministry. I am an ordained minister and a liturgical dancer. I am not a traditional teacher in the sense of school buildings and textbooks. My classroom is usually a dance center, gym, conference center or church. I travel both nationally and locally to train, mentor and establish dance ministries and dance ministry leaders. I have been trying to find a new and creative way to teach more instructors who I can not get to or who can't afford to travel to where I am; I think I have found the solution by developing Desktop Video Conferencing for Liturgical Dancers.

My Personal Learning Network Goals:
1) Investigate Desktop Video Conferencing and find out how it can be utilized to teach a class. 2) To encourage liturgical dance instructors to teach larger audiences using technology. 3) To learn how to use this wiki and similar sites to be effective in using technology to encourage other instructors.
