I have been using Dojo for K-3rd grade. I have been posting myself playing a song and the students have to 'name that tune' I am also using go noodle and www.littlekidsrock.org.  Grades 4-7 I have been using google classroom and Remind.  I have been doing composer assignments as well where the student has to listen to a piece, learn about the composer and answer questions.

For K-2, I have been using Class Dojo to post YouTube videos (Go noodle, Yoga kids, Kidz Bop etc.) and videos of dance related stories read alouds. Students send back recordings of their dancing/ answer 1-2 questions about the activity. For grades 3-7 I've been using google classroom, tutorials of myself teaching choreography, and flipgrid. Flipgrid is great to see students dancing, work on performance skills, and allow to self- assess their work.

Unlimited version of screen castify is a game changer, it had been difficult to keep recordings under the 5 min cutoff allowed with the free version. I upload directly to youtube and share links with students on Google Classroom. I have gotten comments from teachers as far aways as Australia who say they are using my youtube videos with their classes. Students have been using free photo editor PIXLR and a vector graphics program called Gravit. Gravit is free and works on all platforms including chrome.  I took advantage of an offer from Gravit for my students to get free pro accounts for 90 days. The pro version offers some additional features and export options. Attached character illustration was done by a 10th grade student using Gravit.

For my kindergarden class I post to their class dojo to share step by step draw along videos from Art for Kids Hub.

my best practice is making the youtube videos and posting them for the students it really worked the best. I find discussing a lesson through a video works better than written instructions. Sample video. https://youtu.be/951PgWlwqls

Newsela (8-12) and BrainPop (5-7) both have well-rounded resources for students to dive deeper into the world of instrumental music and the history surrounding and woven into the compositions most students have heard or performed reductions plenty of times, but didn't necessarily have the context for fully understanding the piece. We will be taking time over the next few weeks virtually learning how to tune our own instruments via Google Meet!

For K-2 I have been using various videos that I found online for the students to follow along with. One youtube channel called "Saturday morning Yoga" has been especially useful.  The videos take students through an entire yoga flow using familiar children's stories. I have the students send me photos/videos or respond to worksheets that I create.
For 3rd-7th grade I use flipgrid and google classroom. For grades 3 and 4 I post videos of myself teaching choreography that they can follow along with. 5-7th grade are currently working on choreographic devices. I use the book, "The Intimate Act of Choreography" as a reference.

Dojo is great for contacting parents and you can send a mass generic private  message for students not completing work. I am using a book that i purchased years ago called "Accent on Composers" that have biographies and listening examples with questions for students to answer. I use this with a google form that grades and it has really made it easier.

2. K-2nd I am teaching songs using links and I break the song down into assignments. Assignment one is verse one only, assignment two is verse two only and so on until we finish the song. I request video uploads for this. It's working pretty well. At first I encountered problems with parents not knowing how to do it, so I sent them a YouTube tutorial.
3. With Google Classroom: 5th - 7th, I doing critiques, musical analysis, and music history. Their work is uploaded on a Word document or picture of handwritten work. I hope this helps and provides ideas. Stay strong everyone.

In February, I began incorporating literacy with my K-2 art lessons. I wanted to continue this while remote teaching and Youtube has read aloud videos of books that address mental wellness, gender roles and various cultures, etc. I post these assignments on my teacher website (with a link to the Youtube video) and Class Dojo for students and parents. The students have a themed drawing based on the read aloud, plus they read a book and hopefully a discussion at home about the book. In addition, I have books to add to my classroom library.

Dojo is great to contact kids and to have them submit artwork - especially useful for younger grades and some upper grades.
Youtube is my #1 resource for how-to videos (e.g. the Youtube channel "Art for Kids Hub") and extra materials (especially for ones that have CCs).
Making my own videos has really helped the upper grades with more complex assignments. I have a 6th grader who has been using videos as his method of discussion and they're awesome!

The website below allows people to edit pdf documents. This is useful for things such as TeachersPayTeachers, where files can sometimes come with 20+ different pages. The website allows you to pull specific pages out in order to make it simpler and easier to distribute to students. My favorite part of the site so far is the ability to create fillable forms on pdfs. Attached you see an assignment I was able to edit to be a fillable form regarding dotted notations. Students can type directly into the PDF, save it, and send it back.

Dojo has been amazing! Communication is timely with parents concerning student's work, and students keep up a relationship with me by just sending pictures and shout outs...love my kids!
I've availed myself to any free program I can: Quaver, teachrock.org, and especially http://www.musicworkshopedu.org!! Music Workshop is fantastic!
The districts PD's were invaluable for me, flip grid, google classroom, Spark, especially the virtual training last week as I'm attempting to put together a virtual Gratitude Project from Lincoln. (I'll share it once its done.) I tried to implement any training right away so it sticks. My Spark for Cinco de Mayo: https://spark.adobe.com/page/MD9VvLKNTGqUW/
It's really been a journey, for my parents and me. I give lots of grace because I need it most of all.

I have been using CLI Studios website to assign dance classes with professionals for my middle school students. CLI is free for dance educators and they provide a link to give your students to allow them to sign up for free. After students take the class, they log in to Flipgrid and perform the choreography. K-4 students have been using tutorials I find on YouTube and then posting to Flipgrid or Class Dojo Portfolio.

I've been using FlipGrid for 4th-7th and Dojo portfolios for K-2. This week I recorded myself showing a short dance phrase and the students are learning from the recording and then performing it for their assessment.

I have recently done formative assessments on the PearDeck extension for Google Slides, and everything Google. It's pretty fun and you can customize the slides however you want. For example, we are learning about functional and non-functional art, so in one slide I had them define what they think functional means in their own words, and PearDeck gives them a platform to type their answers and send it so I can see it in real-time.
https://www.peardeck.com/
Adding audio to the slides is an option with PearDeck as well which has been very helpful in explaining things to students so they can learn at their own pace.
There was a PD on it recently by Tera Phipps, and she shared a quick guide

Flipgrid has has been fun to use. 6th and 7th graders are using it to debate on whether graffiti is art or vandalism. They can also respond to each other's videos and customize them.

I have joined a theatre education through distance learning group on Facebook and it has given me a lot of great ideas and the Educational Theatre Association and the Kennedy Center have some good resources.
Many of my students have been very hesitant to film themselves performing, so I have had to switch gears to incorporate more research and writing. Students have written short plays about how people are dealing with the pandemic and rewritten songs lyrics to describe their experiences.

K-7th grades.

Dojo class is a great tool to communicate with parents and students.  I have accommodated the lessons and given individual help, for example, check work in progress, repeat instructions, repeat directions, and I have explained directions on private messages.

Also, I post on “Class Story” visual reminders to my students, update information or general reminders of their work. I contact parents by private message and give individual help when needed. This connection is something incredible to me.

In Google classroom, I do the same, but of course the communication is also directly with the student. Positive feedback is extremely important for them. Their artwork shows effort and interest.  Also, before I start a project, my students watch a video (YouTube) of the concepts to apply in their designs. I also use short quizzes and my own videos to help to emphasize the topic learned.

Here is a collaborative project: “Hearts of Hope” that my students did.

I'm subscribe to "Dance Ed Tips" online in which they provide content on Virtual Dance Showcase Webinar, Online Dance Games and other dance education related content.  I also like to upload videos to flipgrid of dance tutorials and students respond back with their flipgrid videos practicing.   Provide video topics highlighting theme/unit related dancers or dance companies to discuss and respond with thoughts.  Remind is one the best tools to contact students along with google classroom. Using Dancio.com, IG live classes and Alvin Ailey on youtube I myself,  take online dance classes to stay in the know of whats happening in the dance community,  tips on teaching virtual classes and continually keeping up the craft of my own technique.   https://www.danceedtips.com/

I have joined a Music Online Teachers group on facebook and I have been getting so many great ideas from them. We are all teachers that have turned into online-teachers due to Covid and everyone has been so generous with their plans and resources.  I would suggest joining a similar support group online.
What I have been getting some good feedback on from my students is giving them options on how they can to complete assignments. For our first responders thank you assignment, I gave the option of singing a song that expressed gratitude. Writing a thank you letter or creating a slide show presentation.

I have been using the Learn Day & Do Day plan by presenting dance tutorials from famous choreographers within the dance world. Also members of Alvin Ailey's Dance Company, Carolyn Dorfmon Dance Company, Martha Graham Dance Company, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Limon Dance Company, and high school alumni on social media. Students will learn by watching the video then demonstrate the Do Day assignments on their levels or Alternatives of Dance Research on a College Level. Plus I add FREE LIVE Weekly Dance Class Schedules for FUN on Tuesdays to their Remind App. using Instagram Live. Every suggestion follows the National & NJ State Dance Standards which i love to support as a dance teacher. Yes, investing in the Masterclass Membership is worth it on YouTube. The payment is expensive, but it helps your students as Virtual Remote Learners.
