2017 VSTE Annual Conference

Participants will gain insight into the ways that free educational tools (such as Soundation and WeVideo), can be used to add arts exposure, develop arts experiences, and enhance understanding of content areas through the lens of creative expression. This drag-and-drop design is intuitive to middle or high school students and can be applied universally in classrooms. Neither teachers nor students need to have any prior music skills or knowledge to be successful with these tools, but will most definitely use some creativity to investigate the endless possibilities of ways to SuperEmpower students for better learning in their classrooms. Teachers will walk away from this session with ready-to-use lessons, rubrics, and an extensive list of differentiated ideas for adding the arts into several different content areas.
