How to Embed Quizlet Flashcards Into Wikispaces

Here you can create flashcards in Quizlet - which I need to check out more. This allows teachers that have Wikispaces to embed their flashcards and the students can choose study mood. For us music teachers, this can help with music literacy. Our elementary students can review music terms this way and even our older students can utilize it to learn their terms and better prepare for final exams - if you give one besides your concerts and a quick survey.

NotateMe

Is the link for an app that allows for music notation, specifically interpreting hand written score notation. This can then be scanned in and it will recognize your handwriting and convert it. The app is still having work done to it, but I think this could be cool. This could be purchased for only a few iPads or Android tablets and a teacher could develop a learning station for composition specifically.

Bang! Rhythm Game

Thanks to Crissy Barton I've found this game and it may be a great option for my students! I try to reward with a points system when they get to play a game in class. This could be a fun new game that gives a little change to freeze dance. http://colorinmypiano.com/2012/12/06/bang-rhythm-game/

iReal Pro

Ever want to work on a piece, but can't quite play it? Some choral directors struggle with the need to play the piano or accompanied a certain piece. This app allows for vocal teachers to help with accompanying, especially vocal jazz ensembles to work on improvisation. The app is a $7.99 download and may be a purchase that the school would allow, I'm not for sure on sharing rights/copyright. I would love to find the Android version - so if anyone can find it or share that would be great!

Alchemy Smart Binder

Alchemy Smart Binder is an online lesson builder that allows teachers to add materials, add estimated times, add digital resources), differentiate between what work is intended for home use and in class use, change the order of content (even in the middle of the lesson), and it can provide student progress reports. Here also teachers can align standards and lessons to the Common Core. This can be a great resource. I think an awesome part for co-curricular teachers is the ability to create specific standards based on what the lesson is and create your own.

The link is here! This is a great resource! http://www.alchemylearning.com/

Kaizena - Google Doc Comments

While looking through my Feedly I found this resources called Kaizena. This add on allows for individuals to add verbal comments for grading. My school, like many others use Google or Gmail. this allows for documents to be shared to multiple people and edits can be performed by them. This program allows for the editor to select a portion of the document, highlight it, attach a comment, verbally address something, and share it back with that changes made. This would be a great resource for those working in groups from a distance. Instead of conference calls this allows the user to edit and make comments in their own time. Should be a great resource!

Since I'm not exactly sure how to share my Feedly with my readers here's the link that I have for the resource: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2013/10/add-voice-comments-to-google-documents.html#.UmsRLSQjiMU

Thanks and Happy Friday!!
