Week 7

KidPix Deluxe was a great site and had some ideas that I could use in my music classroom. Most of the time I find it hard to come across music lessons on the computer, but KidPix showed me that on teach.net, there were neat simple ideas. It kind of made me think, "Now why didn't I think of that?" For example, on Fridays, I could do a Bach & Books day, where students bring their libray books to music class and while listening to music by Bach, they would get some extra reading time. This would be beneficial to students and classroom teachers. Students have more reading time, and I could possibly do some tutoring during this time. Classical music could also be a way to help with creative writing and art projects.

Wordle is a neat tool, but for me as a music teacher, it would be difficult as i don't have any computer lab time with my students. Great for the regular classroom teacher.

The Terra Clues aid could be helpful in musc, but done as a whole class, not indiviually. As a class, we could do scavenger hunts about where composers came from and places where they traveled through or lived. This idea could be a lot of fun!

Alot of these ideas are better suited for the regular classroom teacher, but a number of them could be adpated to fit the music classroom, as well as integrate with the regular classroom.
