I will implement the principles of the INNOVA Program in my Unit Plans in the following ways:

Enrichment Learning Drive Learning Reinforce learning

Accommodations?

New teaching strategies or assessment strategies used?

We used online tools to access high level education, in this case we enrolled together in a class
on The Rochester University about rock history; the students also used their devices to develop
the sound video proyect.

Comments: The unit plan was successful, the students were enthusiastic about education online,
and not only for music class purposes but also for their own interests; besides the results with
the sound production were satisfactory, they explored the possibilities of the sound and
understood the importance of this element within a media production.
