Module 3 Reflection

My students' use of technology is Active/Adaptation-Transformation.  I use technology to allow my elementary students to compose music without having to know all the rules of traditional music notation.  Some of the apps I use are very abstract - sounds are created by moving vines and rhythm is created from the falling star drops.  Other programs I use are more like traditional notation - notes are placed on staff but there is constant feedback available as the note plays itself as the student drags it into position and the computer plays the song back to the student as many times as he/she likes.  The student can create six part harmony, change the tempo at the slide of a button, change the voices of the notes with click.  I feel this is transformational.  The songs a 7 year old student can create with these tools are far beyond what a child of the same age could do with a pencil, staff paper, and a piano.

I would like to work on moving my students into the collaborative and constructive parts of the model. How can we use technology to create a song with kids from another school?  Another country? How can technology be used to connect everything I do in my room?
