Tool 5

So for the first tool - I used this wordle, which I think would really work well in most areas. It is an interesting way to intrigue kids

We always do Character and musical goals for each year --- I think that that this will really diplay that to all.

Tool 4

I just created a new form using Google Docs to see if my friends know my taste in music. I wish I had known about this just a week ago. I think that we can use google docs for numerous items around this campus

Even better, as a district I can use this for collecting our forms for Solo and ensemble.

Tool 3

I like this tool - I think that this will be very helpful if I want students to either listen or to watch a performance or some bowing style.  The first is a Janacek which we are performing at UIL

This is also Janacek, performed by a high school - sometimes I think that it is important to have students watch other students to see how they perform

The second is the London Symphony performing Vaughan Williams, which is great since we are performing his work for UIL in another group.

I think that this will also be good if I find video of strings performing so my kids can watch what their bows are doing.

Tool 2

This is very difficult and it is a lot of reading - reading that is not interesting - it is no Slash book!   I am ok posting on blogs, but lets be honest - I probably won't that often.

Tool 1

This has been an interesting experience. I found at first this quite challenging, however, once I figured it out I found that this was much easier than I thought.

My First Blog

This is my first blog - that wasn't so hard
