Gamifying Google Slides
Wednesday August 13, 2025 9:00am - 9:40am CDT
As a music educator, I struggle to find games that are relevant to a specific topic for a specific grade level, so I've turned to Google Slides to help!  By linking sounds and images to specific pages, I've created content that students often request to play on our free days.  The steps are fairly easy, and you can create content that will keep students engaged and motivated!  I've included an example of a note name recognition game.  Harry Potter Note Names

I Don't WANNA Sit Still!
Wednesday August 13, 2025 9:45am - 10:25am CDT
I can't sit still.  Why should I expect my students to?  Fit Drumming and Body Percussion are an easy way to take a 3-5 minute brain break with all students, regardless of ability or the amount of space you have.  I would love to show you how to get students moving and how you as an educator can either sit back and relax or increase the experience for everyone.  This link includes the basic information you will need to get started:  Fit Drumming Slides
