It is great to see that you did not give up on using the tool just because it was blocked out, that might be the way we have to function for a while until we get more freedom.
Google Docs is a great tool and it seems like Boxnet, just perfected the design of google Docs by allowing the use of audio files. Students seem to respond to music or audio downloads in the classroom. And it doesn't matter video or audio is being played, the students will listen. Simply because they want a change of pace in the classroom. Who wants to hear someone speak for 45 minutes, other than someone older that 24 years of age? Students today (middle/high school) are crying out to us educators for a change. This cry is usually portrayed by misbehavior or acting out in the classroom. Great job on this blog....Oh and by the way, I need some followers on my site....can you do me the honors? Please..
Abby,
ReplyDeleteEar training & music theory is difficult. What a neat tool to use with your AP students - esp. since AP Testing is just around the bend!

ReplyDeleteWhat I like about this post is that you did not write about it you went with using your voice to talk about something that is related to music.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
