The Life of a BEd

I am currently in 3rd year of a B. Ed. in Primary Education. This is where I will be writing down some thoughts on Education and the teaching profession.

Garageband!
At one of our Computers and Education classes we spent some time using the Apple Package called Garageband. It's basically a programme where you can use the samples, provided on the package, to make up your own songs. You can also link a Midi keyboard or other instruments to the computer to make up your own samples. When mixing to make a song you can repeat the samples and add your voice on top. It was a very straightforward programme to use and children (of all ages!) would have a great time playing with it. Here it is on Apple's website.

A friend of mine, Alastair, has used Garageband to make up his own song. The Fajita Song includes drum samples made using Garageband, and a recorded voice over the mix of samples.

I love Garageband! Have you had any thoughts about how you could use it in the classroom? What is its educational potential?
