The Elementary General Music Educator’s Toolkit
Presenter: Kia Vetrero
Tentatively Scheduled for March 3, 2025
Recommended for Educators of Grades Pre-K-8
Craving time to share best practices with other elementary music teachers? This learning experience will consist of two parts. First, participants will be introduced to different applications and technologies that can be used successfully in elementary music instruction. Educators will learn how to use technology in the classroom and build a pedagogical balance to avoid student and teacher technology fatigue. There will be time to explore these apps before the lunch break. General music teachers wear many hats, so the afternoon portion will allow time for a roundtable discussion to share what those hats sometimes entail, to share lesson plans, and to pool resources!
