A1 music helps set the mood. Also, inspires and gets kids excited! @GoNoodle is great for that! #btrackclassroom #ECG2016
DiggsHill Jul 29 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A1 : Music can be used for so many different things. As a timer, for fluency, for writing inspiration etc. #btrackclassroom

A1 - Music is valuable because it conveys emotion, mood, & feeling in addition to content. More connections can be made #btrackclassroom

A2: Used to let Ss listen to own music, but it's too distracting. @Booktrack is a new #edtech tool that changes the game. #btrackclassroom
DiggsHill Jul 29 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A2: When I was in the classroom, I used the lyrics to practice fluecy. Classical to set the mood for writing. #btrackclassroom #ECG2016

@lgleaming YES! I want to be in your class! #btrackclassroom #ECG2016
StantonAlana Jul 29 @ 11:29 PM EDT
