]]> Comment on How do you use your SmartBoard/IWB? by Andy http://jamesfrankel.musiced.net/2010/01/13/how-do-you-use-your-smartboardiwb/#comment-61820 Andy Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:29:45 +0000 http://jamesfrankel.musiced.net/2010/01/13/how-do-you-use-your-smartboardiwb/#comment-61820 I know this is late but I thought I would respond anyway.... I've been teaching with a Smartboard for 3 years now. It has completely changed my classroom. I use the Smartboard for everything; attendance, seating charts, rhythm exercises, solfege, instrument families, recorder music, book, games, etc... Students beg to help, beg to answer questions, lack of classroom participation is non-existent. The students are eager to learn and pick up the concepts faster. This week we are doing ear training rhythm exercises. Students click on an instruments, listen for the rhythm and find the choice that matches the rhythm. Upper grades we do the same exercise but they also dictate the rhythm. I would love to collaborate with more music teachers. My email is andyaramos@gmail.com.

I have written quick a bit about the iPad's use in general education. I have mentioned some about it's use in music classes as well. You can read more about some various apps that need to be created in order to make your vision come true though. <a href="http://edutechnophobia.com/2010/02/15-ipad-app-concepts-for-education/" rel="nofollow">15 iPad App Concepts for Education"</a> Only one of the apps mentioned here is related to music though.
