Mr. Mayberry from Bismarck MO is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

IPad Lab For Students Home Practice

My students need IPads to check out to home so they can use a program that helps them practice at home.

My Students

I work at a rural school and as such my students have very limited access to technology and the programs I like to use to help them improve their practice sessions. Using this tech helps them to have a interactive music teacher at their fingertips. It will increase practicing by making it more fun!!

My students are typical Missouri kids.

They love their friends, playing sports, and being involved in music! My students enjoy the convenience of living in a well developed county and enjoy the safety of living in a small community where we look out for each other and try to help each when we can. The drawback is not all technology is accessible and or available in every place. Our school tries to fill the void when possible, however resources never really seem to stretch as far as needed! My students could excel so much more if the practice aids we use in class were available to take home to use instead purchased.

My Project

The iPads would used by the students to log into a program called SMART music. This program helps students to practice by give them the tools needed to read their music easily. They can hear how a melody or rhythm is played. It can slow down a rhythm so it can be broken down into smaller digestible pieces. By having the ability to take home these IPads, students can do playing assessments at home at their own pace. instead of a specific period during the school day.

I have always made at a point to make sure anyone who walks into my classroom walks out a changed person, some more than others.

I know having the ability to use these tablets will dramatically improve the quality of musicianship, not only in the classroom, but out in the real world they live in too!
