Overall, I very much enjoyed watching the presentations this week. Each group shared its information uniquely and engagingly. The video created by the BandLab group was brilliant and hilarious. It inspired me to want to try out the technology with my students one day. BandLab is a social, online music creation tool with features such as messaging, video sharing and an online collaborative music workspace. Using BandLab in a future drama class, for a musical theatre unit, I would have groups of students work together to create a music video for one of their favourite songs or write a script and use BandLab to create a mini-musical film. Then, I would schedule a viewing party with the class to have popcorn and watch the films/music videos made. This assignment would promote creativity, incorporate tech in the Drama room, and foster teamwork and collaboration.
Readers, how would you use BandLab in your classroom?
