Judges: any classroom full of students

One thing I feel I need to add to my classroom cuisine is spice, especially in my history recipes. I want to find a way to liven all sections of my class, but I'm still searching for the right ingredients. My goal for days three and four, during my time for some true self study, is to start building recipes for my units that will grab the judges attention and keep them wanting more. I want them to thirst for my tasty music class!

A good little musical nugget from Iron Chef Needlemen: If the music is being critiqued, you can use it in a project! This could be helpful! /c

List of Secret Ingredients	How to use the Secret Ingredient
Studywiz	Make use of the discussion feature. This could be a great tool for students sharing tips and tricks with one another at the beginning of CA S1. Or listening assignments?? UPDATE: I spend some time playing with the discussion activity with last.fm - it looks like it'll work. I could incorporate a "piece of the week" based on the current unit and invite students to provide input based on what we're currently studying. Could also provide listening samples for important composers for students to listen to as homework assignments.
Podcasting	give students a topic in groups. They them create a podcast covering their area and share them with the group. Obstacle: I need audio resources or some way of sharing music that I use in class without breaking copyright laws! Create music critique podcasts. Have students select moments in a piece of music to comment on, using musically relevant terms. Could be spread out throughout the semester or quarter.
Wikis and Blogs	apply the same concept for the topic podcast to a wiki or blog. This way students could provide audio links to last.fm, maybe?
Del.icio.us	help students to create a list of resources that they can use anytime, anywhere as "hour zero" resources use this as a way to show students the way to create resource lists on the subject area (like in the connectivism video)
iLife (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iDVD)	iPhoto: create a music and emotion slideshow GarageBand: simple compositional forms; use composing class work from last year to demonstrate some forms - still looking for valid ways to demonstrate music using this app! Could be used for creating podcasts (see above). iMovie: Newscast project? Using significant moments in history and create short stories; some students can act as editors and anchors that bring all the pieces together? (this needs work, but it's a start) iTunes: need to explore the vast iTunesU section of the store for resources. Q: Will students be able to download podcasts and iTunesU content?
iWork (Keynote, Pages)	Keynote - ?? maybe should stick to using it as a delivery tool and not as much for projects Pages - could also use MS Word Publication View; historical advertisements for concerts that include short bios and list of compositions that belong together (i.e., Mozart and Beethoven, or Bach and Vivaldi, etc) Composing class could create a concert program - learn about contrasting styles this way?
Quicktime and PhotoBooth	use with 9-10 to make voice recordings on different diction techniques; found sounds projects with composing class and with MA class. Upperclassmen could use iPods with recorders to achieve the same goals.
Video Conferencing (Skype, iChat)	finding musical people (musicians, composers, technicians, band members) to have a question and answer session with students. Possibilities: David Ott? Check out local and regional band of popularity; also find people who would be willing to do some live demos for the students too.
iPods and iPod recorders	use with upperclassmen to make voice recordings on different diction techniques; found sounds projects with composing class and with MA class. Logistics: need to come up with pros and cons to propose letting students take home the iPods and recorders. Check out at the beginning of the day, return before leaving?
Websites	Last.fm this could be a way to get past my issue with making music available for students timetoast composer time lines in first person important events within a style period looking for a way to embed into a SW activity - awaiting response from the Shupester. bubble.us diagramming instrument families; creating a place to compare and contrast specific instruments and Pandora gives students a chance to find music similar to what they like using this website wordle watch a concert and put some thoughts onto paper. Copy and paste into wordle, post into a SW Gallery and see how each other's thoughts line up. song lyrics to pinpoint meaning?
