In this webinar we will discuss the Creative Process strand in the Music standards and share ideas on implementation in the elementary general music room. We will explore adapting current best practices in order to make conscious the inherent elements of the creative process. We will examine new methods of adding elements of the creative process into the classroom, through virtual, blended, and in-person instruction practices.

The intersection of our musical being and creativity can provide a new, refreshing, and confident outlook on the way forward. In fact, this “great reset” can usher in a revitalized, newly inspired approach to music making. Let the possibilities begin!

Today, art teachers of all grade levels are encouraged (and sometimes required) to incorporate technology into their classrooms, but there are some valid and practical concerns about its implementation. When do I have time to teach myself how to do this? How can I make sure my students have access? How can I make digital art meaningful? This presentation is not just about expanding a technical skillset but also about developing technology confidence. We will share our resources and demonstrate several digital tools that cover a wide variety of media, such as 3D modeling, 8-bit animation, and graphic design. All of these web-based tools are accessible on all computers (even Chromebooks!) and require no installation, login, or payment. This presentation is organized into three sections: (1) digital tools overview, (2) relevant student examples, and (3) interactive creative play. We hope you will join us and leave this session with practical skills, technical know-how, and tangible ideas, to bring back into your own classroom.

In this webinar, we will explore ways that teachers and students can use digital tools in the secondary music classroom for creation and investigation. Topics addressed will include project ideas, integration of audio creation tools into the class structure and environment, and practical issues to consider when choosing hardware and software for these projects.
