Sub Plans for Social Distancing

Nifty Nev
Social distancing, Sub Plans |

I have learned a lot about Nearpod and Peardeck over the last year; check out this blog post about Nearpod and this blog post about Peardeck.To use these as a sub plan, you could put together several pieces of a lesson in Nearpod or Peardeck, then students could watch the lesson all together, on one screen, or they could watch it with a student-paced link, on their own device.For example, if your students are practicing quarter rest, first, they could learn a new song, such as “See the old witch,” by watching a video you’ve made, then, they could read and play rhythm patterns with this video, then, they could compose their own rhythm patterns with ta, ti-ti, and rest with a drawing slide in either platform. Finally, they could practice rhythm by creating patterns in Chrome Music Lab.This does take a little more comfort with technology, but could be a great solution for keeping students “on track” with the other classes, so they don’t get one lesson behind.Would you like a free choice board to use for Kindergarten?

Singing video games for Social Distancing

Are you wondering how to play games with your students while social distancing? In this blog post, I’ll detail five singing games that could work well with social distancing.Before I begin, a disclaimer: when I say “singing game,” I don’t necessarily mean that students are singing while they play. Typically, they would, but in this age of COVID-19, they likely won’t be able to. Instead, you might be having them sing inside their heads or hum along (if that has been deemed safe.) You might also have them play the game in person while watching a video of you singing, or if they are distance learning at home, they are free to sing along…but they won’t have people to play with, unless they ask their family to play along!Here are five singing games that could be adapted for social distancing:

Instructing whereas Social Distancing

I’m thinking that if I am in-person teaching, and I still have 50 minutes with students, I will have half of the lesson be active music making, like body percussion, ostinati with recorded pieces, learning sign language to a song, etc., and the other half of the lesson will be 1:1 Chromebooks, with students exploring on Thinglink, HyperDocs, Digital escape rooms, completing a PBL project, etc.If you’re looking for materials you can use with your students, when explaining what this school year will look like–whether it be in-person or distance– check out this set, which is editable and comes in both PowerPoint and Google Slides:

I began using HyperDocs more this past year, before COVID-19. I absolutely love them for free exploration around a specific topic. In this blog post, I have links to several different HyperDocs that could work for in-person or virtual learning. When I was using it for in-person learning, I would teach half of the lesson as active music making, and the second half of the lesson as free time to explore HyperDocs.In a virtual lesson, you could have half of the lesson be direct instruction, like videos, Google Slides, etc., and then the second half of the lesson be time to explore on a HyperDoc. You could even add a link to a Google form within the HyperDoc, so that students could let you know what they completed on the HyperDoc, what they enjoyed the most, etc.Topics for HyperDocs could be just about anything: instruments of the orchestra, moods in music, composer of the month, genres of music, theme and variations, musical symbols, etc. The sky is the limit!
