more and more garage band

Well planning with garage band again and more fully exploring all the features of the program, from personalizing ringtones, adjusting some of the classics or learning to play the piano or guitar. Looking at all these learn to options reminds me of one of my placements in undergrad where I was able to utilize Rosetta Stone to introduce Spanish to a kindergarten class. Initially I thought it was a tad early to be teaching a new language, but truth be told it is actually the perfect time to learn a new language because students' brains are already use to and wired to absorb and learn new language. The same goes for instruments and computers, the world of computers is very much a unique language with lots of conjugations and special rules for the use of certain words in specific situations. In today's world young children are being exposed to more an more diverse technologies, from their phones to their toys and their computers. Children are entering school with a very larger computer vocabulary and are far more computer literate than we were at the same age. So whenever possible I think it is crucial that we as teachers use new and varied resources to keep our students interested motivated and excited about the content they are learning.
