We also are located near the beach 🙂 I asked the kids if they had ever played in waves or made waves in the bathtub. We are really lucky to have a great wave pool down the street from our school, and most of the kids had recently gone there for swimming lesson field trips. You could also use an iPad and Apple TV but I found that any of these applications that required a microphone didn’t work on the iPad.
However, I know that not all music teachers share my enthusiasm for technology, so I thought I’d share the lesson I did using Chrome Music Labs to help inspire others to try using technology in their classes.įor this lesson, I used a MacBook Pro connected to a projector and external speaker. I am a HUGE fan of technology in the music class, and am always looking for new ways to incorporate tech into my lessons.
I found out about it one day last week before work, and knew I had to throw out my lesson plans and explore this with my kiddos.
(If you haven’t already seen Chrome Music Labs, go there right now, play around a bit then come back and read the rest of this post!)įor Music In Our Schools Month, Google created this wonderful new site called Chrome Music Labs.
