Resources from the RÉCIT domaine des arts
Our colleagues on the francophone side, the RÉCIT domaine des arts, host webinars, create resources, and share ideas that support the integration of technology for teaching and learning in all four of the arts.
Tech-Tastic Teaching Tip
Introduce digital portfolios for students to document and reflect on their work. Students can:
- Record videos of their dramatic monologues or dance rehearsals.
- Upload sound clips of music compositions.
- Add images of visual artworks.
Encourage them to annotate their entries with insights about their creative process, challenges, and inspirations. This creates a comprehensive portfolio that fosters self-awareness and digital fluency.
AI Integration Inspiration :
- In Visual Arts: Teachers can use image generators to create visual examples showcasing specific techniques like perspective or color theory.
- In Drama: Teachers can use AI to develop customized drama scripts or improve prompts that match student skill levels and interests.
- In Music: Teachers can use AI to generate songs or lyrics related to particular subjects or demonstrate musical elements like tempo or key signatures.
- In Dance: Teachers can use AI to help design choreography routines for specific songs.
