Put That Device to Use - Using Telecommunications to Your Classroom

Abstract: Technology has allowed our world to communicate in a global capacity. We are able to be in different states and countries in one day without ever leaving a singular location. Learn how to give your students the opportunity to meet musicians, composers, take lessons, record their progress, and communicate with other students their age in your own classroom. Imagine the global footprint and experiences your students can have with the touch of a button.

  23. Your students will be more engaged because it's something they enjoy and understand
  24. Parents can see progress firsthand instead of always having to ask you to tell them how their students are doing Not being able to get a ride, bad weather, or scheduling conflicts are a thing of the past
