Kim FInkbeiner [|Visit my website] Students K-5 have used GarageBand in the classroom. Great for teaching form, instrumentation, voice. Basic rehearsal techniques have not changed. But we do add technology for interest and help in learning, for example I have used Signing Savvy to show ASL signs for students to add to our songs.


 * Big Idea**: Texas History
 * Essential Question**: How can we preserve our cultural heritage?
 * Design a solution (Challenge):** Design a strategy for people to preserve the Texas heritage in your community.

What are the different heritages in our community? Are there people who are already preserving our heritage in our community? What things are worthwhile to preserve? What resources are available for finding out about Texas cultures? Are there certain cultures which are more represented? Building styles? How is our language today shaped by our heritage? Are there books/websites that document local history? What do people already know about our cultural heritage?
