I am the general music teacher and choir director at Ridgeway Middle School in Memphis, TN. Technology has become an integral part of instruction and learning in my classes. My students utilize online applications such as Voicethread, Quizlet, our class blog, and various web-based activities. We received a Best Buy TeachAward in 2007 that allowed us to purchase computers, digital camcorders and cameras, and software for our classroom. This technology was used to develop and create multimedia projects that engage every student and address multiple learning styles.
Hi, Ken! Thanks for your kind words. I am very impressed of your work too.I saw your site - you have been doing magnificent things with your kids. Our school year starts on the 15 th of September, so my pupils and me will be honored to collaborate with such musicians as you are. My school is the unique one in Bulgaria with that we have an opera studio made from kids to kids and a music class at primary level of education.
I teach English in primary level classes (3rd and 4th graders) and some of my pupils are "actors" in the opera studio. I know Voicethread but have never used it... That can be fixed ;) Skype and Glogster we use regularly. You can call me on Skype for further cooperation if you'd like. We are opened to collaborate!
Ken, My 5th graders are going to participate in a songwriting workshop with Steve Seskin(www.steveseskin.com) in a few weeks and I wondered if I could try to post some of the work for your kids to respond to. I haven't done this so it may not work. We love working with Steve and perhaps your school will want to also. See his website for songs written with Steve and other songs he is better known for.
