This year's first graders learned to love the SMART board last year with Sibelius' Groovy Shapes software. This year we are using Sibelius' Groovy Jungle which goes deeper into the concepts of tone color, dynamics, music words, and composition. Learning on the SMART board is engaging and meets learners where they are in a variety of ways. There is auditory learning, visual learning, and tactile learning as the concepts are explored. In addition to software I have purchased for students to interact with while learning music elements, I am also able to create "games" and use lessons that others have created via SMART Exchange. It is an amazing technology tool that I continue to learn about and integrate in my teaching. I'd love to show it off during Parent/Teacher Conferences!
