John Snavely, Arts Integration Specialist at Howell Elementary has this to say about composing with the SMART Board.
“One of the most interesting applications is for the students to be able to compose music by clicking the appropriate note value then touching the music staff with their finger for the note to appear. If they are not happy with the placement of the note it may be touched again and dragged up or down. Another great use is for student to be able to write carefully on the board and then have their word changed into print. Also students may use the interactive typewriter on the board to enter a word. One more favorite use is to bring up a virtual keyboard enabling a student from the class to choose a sound and actually play music on the board for the class to see and hear!”
