Bringing Technology into the Music Class

A few weeks ago the music teacher at the ES campus approached me for help integrating more technology into her classes.  She already does quite a bit with tech integration especially with grades 4 and 5.  So I gladly jumped in to help. She wanted to spend a few weeks doing digital music with kids and evaluating some of the sites she had found.  The thing she really needed from me was the use of my lab which I would be using to teach younger student during some of the times she needed it.  Since she had already booked out the shared lab it really wasn't a big deal for me to help out in this way.  I also assisted her in finding/creating a document that the kids would use to evaluate these sites.
This Unit was entirely her work and I'm very impressed with what she accomplished with her 5th grade students.  Whenever I was present in the lab for a portion of her lessons, the kids were engaged, having fun and learning!

Some of the sites she used for this project were Lullatone, Patatap, Virtual Keyboard, Tonematrix, Otomata, Drummer Games, Museum of Endangered Sounds, and Touchtones.

Does it have an app version?

How can you use this site to make music?
How musically creative can you be?

Would you use this site again?
