iPad as an Interactive White Board for $5 or $10 School leaders around the United States continue to spend HUGE amounts of money on interactive whiteboards for classrooms, despite the fact that these devices universally FAIL to empower students to become more independent, self-directed and engaged learners in the way mobile learning devices (like laptops, tablets or other personal digital learning tools) can. Please do not misunderstand me: It definitely IS a big deal for a teacher and his/her students to have access to an LCD projector connected to a computer in the classroom if previously, the “normal” technology in the room was an overhead projector. photo © 2010 Wesley Fryer | more info (via: Wylio) In the last two weeks, Tim Tyson has recorded and published (both to his blog and his YouTube channel) eight screencasts totaling 52 minutes and 37 seconds. To be clear, as Tim Tyson outlined in his introductory video about this process, everyone should understand the requirements to use an iPad as an IWB. You need:
NotateMe Lessons 3 & 4 and Additional Thoughts I have wrapped up our NotateMe Now lessons with two more lessons. This lesson series was used in our classes (6-8th grade) as a way to take these very basic concepts in music theory, and to have students use them using the app NotateMe Now, while also learning how to draw music notation. NotateMe Now is the free, single staff version of NotateMe, an app that converts handwritten music notation to digital notation (with other features coming in the future). Lesson 1 introduced the app, as well as quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes. I blogged about it here. Lesson 2 covered quarter rests, half rests, and whole rests. Lesson 3 covered ties, slurs, and dotted half notes (and dotted whole notes). Lesson 4 covered eighth notes, eighth rests, and dotted quarter notes. The quiz was to complete a task just like the “homework” assignments. Here are a few things I have learned: NotateMe Now Lesson #3 Assignment and Checklist (PDF) NotateMe Now Lesson #4 Assignment and Checklist (PDF) Quiz:
Life in a Inquiry Driven, Technology-Embedded, Connected Classroom: Science I teach in an inquiry, project-based, technology embedded classroom. A mouthful, I know. So what does that mean? It’s a place where my students spend time piecing together what they have learned, critically evaluating its larger purpose, and reflecting on their own learning. It also means my students don’t acquire knowledge just for the sake of acquiring it. into play. So what does this look like? On lab days, one of the first things my students do is take out their phones. I used to have students sketch pictures of lab slides. much time sketching throughout their schooling career. Last year, instead of sketching, my students began taking pictures with their phones of what was on the slide. Do my students use their phones during this time for non-educational tasks? The nuts & bolts of embedded technology My students have multiple options as to the final format of their lab submission. At strategic points, our classroom is flipped.

Staff Wars Available on iPad! Hats off to Katie Wardrobe, author of Midnight Music for mentioning this the other day, but Staff Wars 1 (link to the app) is now available on the App Store for iPad. The app was released on February 8th, so I consider it a brand new app. Staff Wars is a Star Wars inspired note naming game that was originally (and still is) offered on PC and Mac at themusicinteractive.com. I attended a session at the Iowa Music Educators Professional Development Conference a few years ago where Chad Criswell, author of Music Ed Magic (as well as technology feature writer for NAfME and its journals, such as Teaching Music), talked about Staff Wars (2) and how much his students loved the program. As a secondary teacher who has been teaching in middle school and high school, I can attest that in general, students don't know their note names–even with the best efforts of their elementary teachers in general music and elementary performance groups. Destroy one note, the next comes along.
Twelve Ideas for Teaching with QR Codes Updated 01/2014 As mobile learning becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective ways to leverage mobile tools in the classroom. As always, the tool must fit the need. A Quick Tutorial QR stands for Quick Response. 1. Have students use QR to create resumes that link to other content such as their professional website or portfolio. 2. You can create QR for linking students to examples of quality work, whether it's PowerPoint or slideshare for a class presentation, or people speaking a foreign language specific to your current lesson. 3. Integrate QR with a PBL or Service Learning project where students can create the codes that will link to the content they create. 4. Save a few trees! 5. Award prizes by having students scan a code leading to an animation or badge. 6. Put codes in different areas of the room that will take students to different online activities, videos or content. 7. Have students check their answers by scanning the QR code after completing a test or assignment.
Recorder Interactive: A Magical Method In late January, Dr. Joanna Sisk-Purvis self-published a recorder book on the iBookstore, entitled “Recorder Interactive: A Magical Method.” The book currently sells for $7.99, and includes over 30 songs. Most songs have two accompaniment tracks (recorder melody and accompaniment), and most pages have interactive material. I love this approach, because it makes iBooks into an “app” without needing to know how to program in Objective C and Cocoa Touch computer languages (how iOS apps are created). Dr. Also be sure to check out Dr. I will be listing this as a recorder resource in the (short) chapter about recorder on my book about iPads and Music Education on the iBookstore (in the next update which I have not yet started–I am waiting for a bit more new material before starting the update).
Cool Cat Teacher™ - Vicki Davis , Cool Cat Teacher Blog Loopy App for iPhone & iPad Usage + Mini Review Loopy (iPhone & iPad – $8 / iPhone only – $4) completely dominates the looper market on iOS. This super solid, feature packed looper has provided for more usage, fun, and musical ideas than all of my previous hardware combined. Thanks to MIDI support, you can connect foot MIDI controllers like the Behringer FCB1010 and control Loopy with your feet while playing a physical instrument – and thanks to Core Audio you can connect HQ, class compliant, audio interfaces. The UI Loopy’s user interface is just flat out simple and easy to use. Performance and Reliability I’ve showed Loopy to several of my musical friends and almost all of them asked if it records solid, tight loops. Looping Apps with Audiobus One way to use Loopy is as a background looper with other Audiobus compatible apps. This is an excellent way to build on an existing musical idea. This has become my go to Audiobus setup for experimentation on iOS. Guitarists MIDI control is sunk pretty deep into Loopy. More on this here. Loopy:
2¢ Worth Listen A few weeks ago I worked and attended North Carolina's ISTE affiliate conference. I opened the NCTIES conference with a breakfast keynote address and Marc Prensky closed it with a luncheon keynote the next day. I would first offer some constructive criticism to NCTIES , and to all such ed-tech conferences across the nation and around the world. The only idea I can think of is to have one or two session rooms devoted to unconference topics. Now to the surprises It was in the student showcase, a part of most ed-tech conferences that I often miss, using it as an opportunity to visit the exhibitors or dash up to my room for something or other. She then began telling me what they were doing, describing some of the communication skills they were learning as well as social studies and character. “No software. After my hesitation, she continued, “..the game master.” “Today we do not need content specialists in our classrooms as much as we need context specialists.” And then, Is this true?
Créer un reportage avec Tellagami et iMovie Voici une petite activité simple et agréable pour mettre vos élèves en action cette année. L’exemple qui va être présenté dans cet article peut s’appliquer dans plusieurs contextes. Vos élèves peuvent réaliser un reportage sur leurs vacances d’été, une visite au musée, une activité pédagogique, la visite d’un conférencier, etc. Les possibilités sont infinies. Par hasard, je suis tombé sur un article de Greg Swanson sur son site Apps in Education. Chaque animation créée dure un maximum de 30 secondes et elle s’appelle un Gami. Une fois que vous avez terminé votre personnage, vous devez choisir l’arrière-plan pour votre film. Une fois que vous avez choisi votre fond d’écran, vous pouvez déplacer et changer la taille de votre personnage. Une fois que vous avez terminé l’enregistrement de votre voix, vous pouvez partager votre vidéo ou l’enregistrer sur votre iPad. Ce premier exemple a été créé par Greg Swanson dans le cadre de la discussion citée plus haut. Crédit photo: Christy
