Task 11- Implement a tool

I have recently set up a wiki for my 8th Grade and Upper School Orchestras. I've posted YouTube videos of concerts on which the students are commenting. It's been a slow start, but I think they're starting to get a hang of it. Interestingly, when I first set up the site and was excited to tell them that we were going to implement some technology, the response I got was "Mrs. Lamback, this was the only class we didn't have to open our laptop. We liked that!" Hmmm...got me thinking that sometimes it's good to unplug!

I also created flashcards on Quizlet (link on the wiki) for the kids to prepare for an upcoming music term quiz. I'll know by next Monday if the students really took advantage of the tool!
