Powerpoint #1

Link to my Dropbox public page.
My browser is having trouble with anything Google related (especially docs and chrome), it's a miracle I can still post blogs.

Anyway, this project was difficult, as I am very used to the bulleted lists made with Powerpoint, it was hard to 'create' a 'story' to the presentation.
     The presentation is on how to create a major scale (and an incredibly brief history of scales). I would walk students through the steps by asking many questions outside of the presentation (although, theoretically, they SHOULD be able to figure it out without me talking through it). it starts with other kinds of scales and eventually makes its way to a short semi-tutorial on how to create your own major scale. Some prerequisite knowledge of music is needed, and this is assuming I have covered that material for the students. At the end I mention our next lesson, minor scales.

     This presentation meets standard 2a. "Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity." This is because it creates an experience children can use to further learn hard concepts in music. It also follows standards 3c. and 3d.
