Music and Literacy

This brief 15-minute slide deck and video covers the link between music and literacy. It also talks about how music engages the SEL capacities AND can be a therapy. This presentation was developed for an in-person workshop which featured a presenter on early childhood songs in the morning, and a presenter who shared percussive instruments in elementary in the afternoon. This information was the "bridge" in between.

AI and Arts Lesson Plans

This working webinar was recorded in January 2023 with presenters Peggy Burt and Louisa Higgins. It's goal was to help teachers more familiar and comfortable with using AI to do arts lessons plans, integrated lesson plans and assessment rubrics. Please feel free to fast forward during the one section where participants were working in breakout rooms.

Artificial Intelligence and the Arts

This presentation was created by Riverside County Arts Administrator Louisa Higgins, to investigate the impact of AI technology on the arts. It was written in September 2023, for a free online presentation in November 2023. It was specifically created for teachers and educational leaders.
