Thing 7c – Using Smartboard in the Music Classroom

Last school year (2007-2008) was the first time I had the opportunity to use a Smartboard in my classroom. It does have an interactive music notation program on it that the students seemed to enjoy using ( when we had the time). It seems that we never quite took the time to delve into it’s use enough. I plan on making better use of it’s presence ,this school year (2008-2009).

I recently found an article in Amy M. Byne’s blog site, Elementary Music/Music Technology called Smartboard in the Elementary Music Classroom.

This article gave me some excellent ideas on additional ways to use the Smartboard for my music classes. She gives addresses of several sites that have lessons and activities that could be used interactively.
