A Garage Band with Studio Sound
We almost did not get a break during class tonight (thanks Jenna) because we got carried away tinkering with the program Garage Band. Garage Band is software used to create personalized musical tracks or podcasts. The range of sounds, beats, and animations available to enhance the podcast were impressive, especially considering the program comes standard with every Mac. Garage Band was very user friendly and could easily be taught to children. The ease of editing made it quick a simple process for teachers to use and students to make mistakes and revisions. I would like to use this program with my students just so I could “play”! When working with students it would be important to establish clear classroom management rules to accomplish task. Creating a podcast would definitely be a rewarding task for both teacher and student.
