Do you remember Michael Jackson at Ubisoft? Well, here we are again! So cool! The upcoming video game, Michael Jackson The Experience? So interesting! And funny! 




The game was available for the Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP on November 23 2010. It was also available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early 2011.*
Michael Jackson The Experience is a typical dance/motion game, but it adds in the magic of MJ’s discography and dance moves.**





"Michael Jackson The Experience will make learning to dance like the ultimate pop icon fun and accessible for everyone. In Michael's School Mode, players will be able to rehearse before their show, with video training to practice Michael's most challenging moves in order to pull them off to perfection."

There is another interesting resource! The American documentary-concert film This Is It directed by Kenny Ortega (2009), a  A compilation of interviews, rehearsals, and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London.

Kenny Ortega, confirmed that none of the footage was originally intended for release, but after Jackson's death, it was agreed that the film would be made. The footage was filmed in California at the Staples Center and The Forum.






Education:

Young people love King of Pop, music and dance! So, it's a wonderful game and documentary to let kids express themselves learning the moonwalk in music curriculum. And the glove? Just magical for kids! 

Teachers can ask students to bring a white glove into the classroom to use it to dance.

  • The film:

Michael Jackson's This Is It offers Jackson fans and music lovers worldwide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts that would have taken place beginning in London at Arena, on October 2009 before his death on 25 June 2009.

Teaching and learning can have fun! Must be! Don't you think? Teachers must be imaginative to captivate the students by creativity in a different and awesome lesson.

You can begin as you wish, but i think it would be better beginning by displaying the documentary in two or three lessons.

Students can express themselves about Michael. Prepare some activities to follow the documentary.  

After the documentary, the video game. Prepare some space at school. Outside or inside at a special room. 

Students must be invited to dance. And prepare a small show to the school.

And why not a flash mob similar to this one?





See how fanny it is? Of course , teachers can adapt to their students in school or at the city where they teach. 

Michael Jackson The Experience official site has enthusiastic fans from all over the world!

Why not to display this game in school curricula ? Amazing digital resource that can transform a music lesson so funny. Students will love to dance.




Wow ! How exciting dancing  on the street! Or at the school outdoor! Feel the experience!
