| Description | | Screen-free Music
As more attention is being paid to the negative effects of screen time for young children, many early childhood programs are limiting the use of screen time in classrooms and, in some cases, removing screens altogether. But, over the years, many early childhood teachers came to rely on these screens for music time in the classroom.
Participants will leave the session with lyrics to simple singable songs and links to recorded versions of ACTIVE musical games that can be accessed on any music streaming service. With these resources, teachers, librarians and care providers will be able to put the practical ideas shared in this session to use RIGHT AWAY!
Inspiring Music Play for Infants and Toddlers
Jim Gill leads a session filled with ideas in music play created especially for professionals working with the youngest children - those from birth to three years of age. The workshop will explore different ways to use music to connect with children in various settings: one-on–one experiences, home visits, and group environments. Jim will share lively music to engage and music that helps to smooth stressful transition times. Those involved in family programming will appreciate Jim’s strategies to facilitate involvement by parents and other caregivers.
