March 8

The highlight of my night. . . was GARAGE BAND!  Exploring the music options and sound effects and working on the collaborative projects was engaging, instructive and fun.  I enjoyed the freedom of playing-- without pressure-- and thinking about the possibilities for students, especially students who are strong in musical intelligence or who need creative outlets during the school day.  I would like to incorporate Garage Band creations as an opportunity/incentive/reward for students.  An added benefit would be that while making the opportunity available to kids, I could enjoy a creative, musical interlude inserted into my administrative routine. :-)

  1. I love your enthusiasm for GarageBand. It's a great tool and as you explore it further--esp the Podcast function--I think you will find ways to integrate it into some classrooms on the front end. Maybe you should present a staff meeting partially as a Podcast! What do you think?
