Description
A group of young people are picking out music for a poetry slam. A pair of students are wearing ear buds and playing a keyboard attached to a computer. A child reads a story into the laptop's microphone as music plays softly in the background. Turn your school library into a learning laboratory where students can explore all aspects of music as they address standards across the curriculum. Although music plays an important role in the lives of young people, it is often ignored and even censored by educators. Many schools have filtered all MP3 downloads from the Internet and have prohibited music players from school grounds. From the built-in microphone on a laptop to iPods and smart cell phones, the potential for music in learning is enormous. How do we balance concerns about lyrics and "audio cheating" with the benefits associated with the musical medium?
