The teacher directs a short class performance of a story of local, state, or national significance. The performance is recorded and then sent to a similar class in another community, state, or part of the world.

The teacher can direct a short class performance of a dance of local, state, or national significance. The performance is recorded then sent to a similar class in another community, state, or part of the world. The exchange school will send a performance back. When students receive the recording from the other class, they can respond to what they “see, think, and wonder” about the work they have viewed.

In a multimedia summative portfolio, Students include both process and product documentation as well as reflections of learning.

Students will connect with students in other performing arts groups from around the world.

Students can create short video “commercials” to communicate messages about topics of interest related to course content, advocacy, to highlight student work, or advertise upcoming performances.  

Video clips of dance fundamentals covered in class allow students to pause, repeat, and access content on demand as needed for review, remediation, make-up work, and/or enrichment.

Video clips of performance and/or production techniques covered in class allow students to pause, repeat, and access content on-demand as needed for review, remediation, make-up work, and/or enrichment. Students can assist in the development of technique videos by identifying skills they are strong at demonstrating, recording a short “how-to” video, and adding it to a class library of learning media.

Students will develop a technological task management system to stay organized through a fictional or real production process.

Students will use multimedia tools to conduct data analysis related to school productions.

Students will tour online museums to examine instruments from other cultures. Students will use research from museum tours and understanding of sound to design an original instrument following engineering design principles.

Watch a portrait of a student come to life with the student’s own composition and performance through technology! Students will perform and record a musical greeting using their name and create access to their performance through a portrait with QR codes and websites/applications such as Flipgrid and/or ChatterPix Kids.

Students easily identify appropriate and inappropriate online behaviors. This lesson empowers students to collaborate while reviewing strategies to disengage or react when interactions become uncomfortable and potentially unsafe. 

Setting and maintaining expectations is an essential indicator of future student success at all grade levels. At the start of each school year, classes review citizenship skills to get reacclimated to the school and the classroom environment. Help students set a strong foundation for their digital lives by teaching digital citizenship and face-to-face skills. In doing so, students will be equipped with tips for safety and success no matter their setting.
