Jibbigo: @http://jibbigo.com/ Voice translation app for iPhone Speak in English and it translates in Spanish and vice versa. Phil Tulga: Music Through the Curriculum (Warning-sound starts to play when you click on the link) Playing Fraction Pies (adding fractions to make rhythms) @http://www.philtulga.com/pie.html The Fraction Pie Rhythms activity connects your knowledge of fractions and equivalency to musical notes and rhythms. Simply choose your fractions and press play — your fractions will transform into a musical composition you can see and hear! You can also change the time signature, email rhythms to your friends, and select between four playing sounds: 1) Taiko drums, 2) Clapping, 3) Orchestral Snare drum, and 4) the sound of Water! Includes many other creative musical experiences: Field Trips (Aztec Drum Rhythms, Drum Language in Ghanaian Schools, Drum Language of the Congo), Language Arts, Math and Science, Homemade Instrument Projects. Excellent for students who learn best through other senses beyond language such as ELL, Special Ed, but all students will be engaged with the projects and benefit from them. Be sure to check out the Cucumber Pickle Machine. Phil shows students how to make rhythmic meters by combining two and three syllable words, i.e., pickles and cucumbers. In this activity you can make your own meters with this talking Cucumber Pickle Machine. ====[|Video Recording of the Alpha Launch of "Peace Dot"] Live video broadcast from Gator Radio at Castilleja School with Annie Cardinal and Matt Montagne, regular EdTechTalk webcaster on Parents as Partners and EdTech Brainstorm. @http://peace.castilleja.org/blog-1 Their Peace Dot site is @http://peace.castilleja.org Castilleja has a number of creative projects and initiatives taking place in their school based on the "roots of peace" including empathy, basic needs, understanding and communication.
