Please share a description of overall project or work to be completed. One goal is to use google docs in my 7th grade exploratory music classes. I would also like a means (perhaps google docs or another program if better suited) to communicate directly with all of the students I have in chorus in grades 7-12. I would like to send them reminders, assignments, etc. as a reinforcement to the means of communication that we currently use. Another goal is to use the Smart board that we have at the middle school for 7th grade exploratory music. We have yet to utilize this great teaching tool, so I would also like to work towards getting that up and running for the next school year. I would also like to become more familiar with iMovie as we use this program with students in the 7th grade as well.

Please use this Wiki Journal to share a brief summary of work, questions, comments etc. If you are working outside of class for 'non-seattime' please add dates and time to record your work.

August 24 Time - 4 hours Comments Worked with google docs to familiarize myself in order to use it with my classes and choruses.

August 25 Time - 3.5 hours Comments Do you have the software on your laptop for the Smartboard? This would be the first step on this goal and then to go to the support site and practice creating lessons in the notebook.

Thank you, I will look into that. Worked with google docs and started working on the High School Music Department Handbook.

August 26 Time - 3.5 hours Comments I worked on creating a handbook for the high school musicians. Monique has requested that we put our policies in writing. Today I will work on the awards section. Also, I am trying to align the table of contents with the document via a tutorial.

August 27 Time - 0 Comments - Family Day!
