In this session we will discuss the transition from a traditional music classroom to a 1:1 classroom. In our first year of 1:1 there have been many struggles and victories, we look forward to sharing those with you to better prepare music educators for upcoming technology. We will overview google applications, iPad friendly apps and how technology has transformed our feedback as music educators.
