S7: E144 Enhancing with Technology

Season Seven

Episode 144

Enhancing with Technology

I’ve enjoyed sharing our book series for the past several episodes on the podcast.  I hope you enjoyed hearing from Jessica Peresta in episode 141, Jen Rafferty in episode 142, and Michelle Margiotta in episode 143.  Each of these women are phenomenal at what they do and their work is worth spending time checking out.  Their books, websites, and instagram info can be found in the show notes and on the blog.  Take a moment (or more) to look at what they create for you and connect with them online.

February was a really exciting month as a result of releasing my first book The Afternoon Ti Guide to Teaching Music and presenting a session about goal setting at the Fflat-books Winter Thaw.  If you haven’t picked up your copy of my book and journal, I thought it might be helpful to give you a glimpse into a chapter from the book and access to a few journal pages.  The book is full of information about music approaches, lesson plan ideas, links to google files, and music teaching tips for using technology, virtual teaching, and more.  And if you missed the goal setting workshop, come join me for a free zoom workshop on Friday, March 12 at 5pm EST.  I’ll be sharing ideas for setting and tracking goals, as well as giving you a goal setting guide that I created with you in mind!  To get the Zoom link, find me at Instagram @highafternoonti and private message me to ask for the link.  I’ll send it to you and hope to see you there!


In today’s episode I’ll be reading from chapter seven of my book called “Enhancing with Technology” and sharing a few examples of lessons I’ve created using some of the technology tools that I mention.  The full chapter can be found in the book, but this will give you a glimpse at some of the content you can expect to find within it. Listen to the podcast to hear the content!

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 th...
