PLN: Chromatik
With such an emphasis on apple products, the first question someone asks when confronted with technology is, "Is there an App for that?" Earlier in the week I was introduced to Chromatik online. It is an app that allows a teach to communicate with the student via apple products. You can send music privately and securely, as well as make markings on the music while the students have it. Your annotations will be sent to their music. Teachers can attach audios of other performances to let the students familiarize themselves with the music as well. Another important part is that it introduces the flipped classroom to music. You can watch lessons on your apple device, as well as send teachers your practice sessions. I think this is hard to incorporate in public schools, seeing as though many students do not have apple devices. In a private classroom, or for private lessons, this tool could be amazing. It offer the child more ways to practice rather than just alone in a room occasionally. I think Chromatik will be talked much more in the future, as education continues to integrate technology into the classroom.

Hahahahaha I also posted about an app for musicians and teachers :). This seems like such an interesting application. I have heard my trumpet teacher talk about possibly using this application to compliment/help teach lessons to students. He heard this from someone who would use it to check on his students when they went to festivals. I don't have time to check it out completely right now but as soon as I have free time I WILL BE BACK!!!!
ReplyDeletealso thank you for embedding the video :)
This app seems pretty incredible! That video was awesome. I think this would be great for use as a private teacher....especially if a student has to miss lessons, but you still want to check in with them so they don't fall behind. Great resource to keep in mind for the future, especially since you have an apple computer!
