New teaching strategies or assessment strategies used?

The students used their devices as a tool of research, they looked out information, historical data and media regarding
different music genres, composers, musicians.

Comments: Everyday i am more convinced that this is a beautiful way for the students to approach music; they seemed
to be high motivated to come to music class, and to enjoy the movies, despite some of the movies are not the kind they
are used to. Its also important to say that this is a good backing to other subjects such as Social Studies or literature.
