- 2 Truths & 1 Lie
- #EduDuctTape Question: How can we implement technology in the music classroom to engage students in music-learning and music-making?
- Casey advocates for the use of edtech in order to be culturally relevant for your students
- Casey’s question for himself: “How are my students making music each day”
- Mobile apps to use as a tuner or as an instrument
- NearPod
- Initially, Casey used it all on his teacher screen
- As time went on and Casey got access to more devices, he increased his use of its formative assessment features
- Nearpod can still be useful if you're not 1:1, Casey has used with students in groups or in stations
- The use of Nearpod for data collection across multiple classes and 100s of students was valuable for Casey
- Nearpod VR allows him to present in a more rich way
- One of the music education standards involving connecting music to other elements and showing a location relating to the music hits this.
- Draw It slides to draw rhythms, show compositions, etc. to replace paper processes
- Flipgrid - for Chorus auditions
- Incredibox - premade loops
- GarageBand - not the best in primary grades
- Casey’s advice: start small, it’s okay to take small steps.
