What I Learned While Creating Virtual Lesson Plans

At the time I am recording this we are on day three of virtual teaching. We've had a soft start with Zoom calls with advisory students and preparing for the launch of our full schedule of classes today. I feel as though I've grown in extraordinary ways outside of what I would have felt if I'd returned to the classroom as usual after spring break.

Three things I have taken away from the planning I have done for online teaching:

1) I can do hard things and make the best of them

*Screencast-omatic
*Juggling different schedules for the girls while trying to feed them (oven on a little long?)
*Making a list of all the things I've learned

2) You're not failing if you're trying

*There's a lot of grace needed for ourselves and for others

3) We will be better for this

I've used so many online tools that I had wanted to learn more about, but didn't have the time to spend on them. Now it's been almost a forced meet-cute of me and these new online tools. They've come into my life and I am getting more proficient at them as we go along.
*Start with one tool (I began with screencast-omatic on Schoology)

Recorder: What to do with Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns... it might be the bane of your existence, a song to start with students with B-A-G on the recorders that really doesn't affect you one way or the other, or a great song to use that is simplistic and gets the job done. No matter what your feeling on it, it's likely that you've used it because it is effective at teaching simple rhythms, B-A-G and giving students a great starting place when learning recorder. Personally, I find it useful but I'm honestly tired of it. I decided to do something new with it this summer and wanted to change it so that it was more musical. For many days of my summer break I spent time in the morning playing the recorder. I wrote down melodies I had improvised and liked, played with modes and scales, added unpitched percussion parts/piano/guitar chords and enjoyed seeing what could be done. Not all of the pieces were very good but it was a great creative way to figure out some solutions for recorder pitch sets, rhythms an

S6: E127 Mini Soundtrap Project

Season 6 Episode 127 Mini Soundtrap Project In the last few episodes I’ve shared some Soundtrap lesson ideas that I created and used with students. Podcasts, Fictional Character Themes, Found Sounds, and Poem with Loops. Check out the resources provided for each of these lessons in the show notes or on the blog. Today’s episode is about a simple Soundtrap project that could be done as a collaboration by several students or by an individual in whatever time frame you provide. The benefit of this lesson is that it’s incredibly flexible. It could be done in as little as 20 minutes or as much as 45 minutes or more. The idea is to allow students to create a piece containing a specific amount of loops that includes an introduction and ending. Like I said super simple. This might be a great way to introduce students to loops and even form structure depending on how you set up your rubric. This was a lesson I used while I was out this past week and needed something that a substitu
