With Smartmusic software, I can create and send customized assignments to my students' home computer. Students play or sing exercises into a microphone and receive instant feedback on note and rhythm reading accuracy! Because it is a lot like Guitar Hero, kids find it extremely fun and are motivated to practice and improve! The software also allows students to record and listen to themselves. I can track students' progress, grade assignments and compile portfolios of student work with the software.

This is a website where teachers can share Boardmaker activities. Boardmaker is a software program used by many special education teachers to enhance communication. It provides 4.500 picture communication symbols that can be used to create schedules, communication boards, calendars, bingo games, worksheets and more.

Many special education teachers in the district use Boardmaker software to make picture schedules, social stories, flashcards, etc. This website allows parents and educators a 30 day free trial. If you like what you see, talk to a special educator in your building.

This is a cool website that will allow you to convert a file into another type of file. It has the capability to convert audio, video, image, document, ebook, archive or hash files into anything else! The audio file conversion tool could be particularly helpful in band. Many students like to download music on iTunes, but then can only play those songs on iTunes. Students could convert the file and then play it on any other type of music player. This would allow the music to be portable if they don't have an ipod. Students would be able to hear their music and practice their parts mentally from anywhere!

this loooks like a very useful site, with all the new audio and video formats out there, this would be nice to be able to utilize the various files without purchasing software that has a short shelf life
