STUDENTS TO CONNECT GLOBALLY
Mr. Garcia is currently establishing a collaboration with a music class in Yokohama, Japan. The idea is that our music tech students will use a Web-based music program to create music compositions which would be shared with a 'classmate' in Japan. One idea is to have students compose a piece for a picture, using the elements of music. Both classes would use the same picture and then compare the finished songs. All the music files would be able to be shared digitally and connections to students can be made via e-mail, via Google Docs and possibly using SKYPE and a projector.
This unit would be the first in a series designed to teach students about 21st century collaborative technologies and Web2.0 applications in (music) education.
Stay tuned for more.....we're very about this!!
