WK 1-1 DB Quickies: DIY Classroom Presentations/SolutionsAt my school, technology seems to be moving at a rather slow pace. I teach music to nearly nine hundred elementary students and when I first arrived in the district four years ago, the only pieces of technology that I had was one teacher computer and a CD player. I now have a projector and a new TV is getting ready to be mounted in the next few weeks that I will be able to use as a monitor for students to view web videos. I have had difficulties, many times, trying to show these videos from YouTube and other sources that showcase musical experiences and performances. This site has been blocked up until the last few months, but because of the location of my desktop and the lack of wireless signal of my laptop, I am still forced to download the videos beforehand so that I can utilize the space in my classroom effectively. I believe the TV will help me with this problem next year.
