Ipads were an important part of this first grade music lesson. The teacher worked with small groups of students learning about rhythm while the rest of the class rotated among three other stations. An interactive flipchart projected on the board guided students to the next station they needed to visit.
Students were able to practice reading notes as well as create and edit melodies with the apps: Joy Tunes Piano Dust Buster, Tune Train, Freddie the Frog, and Pluto Learns Piano.
In order to simplify the process and manage student activity, the teacher cleared the ipad dock of all default apps and moved them to the second page of the home screen. Expectations for the activity were made clear by having apps located on the dock this way.
