A brief description of the project:
.share a keyboard (piano) recital with another, same grade level, music class in the district
.2-3 peer selected students will perform
. offer a cultural awareness blend by inviting Woodview Elementary to participate
Is it possible to have the kids perform for their parents via Skype? My mind is beginning to take off!
Oh WOW....I'm excited...I see where you are going...too bad you weren't at RCE about 10 years ago...I had a class set of keyboards...when we rebuilt the school...we had to get rid of...they were just in storage!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sharing a recital...The BIG macs in the library can be moved into the KIVA easily to do a skype!
I don't think there is anything in board policy that would keep you from Skyping with parents. I haven't found anything! You can use the MacBook you're getting and a projector and just Skype from your classroom!
ReplyDeletei just posted this on your neighbor's (emily) blog and would love your thoughts, too!
ReplyDeletehi, i'm barb from Stratford Orchestra, i just had a great idea and am sharing with everyone i can! i am on this tool (#7), and was searching the district for other high schools to try to get some other orchestras together. and when i saw all the other schools, i realize that this could be a great tool for our vertical teaming! like the orchestra could 'skype' with one of your classes - listen to live music and ask questions about string instruments, etc. this could be a really great connector and encourage kids to continue music after elementary school! maybe it's just me, but i'm trying to find a good niche for these tools in the performing arts world. let me know what you think!
