Welcome to tonight's #elmused chat! We're talking Making Connections Thru Tech. Introduce yourself, what you teach, and your favorite app.

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:01 PM EST

All questions will follow the Q1/A1 format so we can keep track. And make sure to use the #elmused hashtag!

PitchHillMusic Feb 23 @ 9:08 PM EST

@JarvelaMused Don't be desperate - the elementary kids think the HSers are SUPER cool! lol #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:08 PM EST

@shannon_sari and @svitullomusic did you know that there’s a #seesawchat each week? I think it’s Thursdays- check it out! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: Other Ss- whether older or younger- for feedback or to share experiences in different part of the country/world #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:09 PM EST

@twkellyMRES Same with me! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:11 PM EST

@Shannon_Sari said Twitter! #elmused https://t.co/CAEEIqDwtT

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:12 PM EST

@JarvelaMused @Shannon_Sari seriously, though, Twitter is stupendous.1 #elmused

twkellyMRES Feb 23 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: The first way is to seek them out! Ask for connections! Twitter has been great for me in that it's quick! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:12 PM EST

A2: People have already mentioned it as a favorite app, but SeeSaw is a great way to record student work and share it with Ps! #elmused

svitullomusic Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST

A2: I would like my Ss to connect w/ others through the @Seesaw blogs #elmused

PitchHillMusic Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb @Skype Keep trying! The hardest part is probably scheduling....but you never gonna make strides if you don't try! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST

@Shannon_Sari @JarvelaMused And we’re glad you did! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST

Q3: WHAT are some great apps that we can use to connect with others (Teacher-T, T-Student, S-S, etc.) #elmused

twkellyMRES Feb 23 @ 9:13 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb @Skype #elmused #elmusclass My 2nd grade class loved connecting with the hashtag!

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:14 PM EST

@twkellyMRES Maybe we should try again? Anyone else in? #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: also, plain "old" internet and email to get in touch with all of the folks you want to come perform or go perform for. #elmused

PitchHillMusic Feb 23 @ 9:14 PM EST

A3: Twitter (duh), Skype, Facetime, Even doing a recorded message - like a video voicemail, weekly type of thing.... #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

A3: @Seesaw @ThingLink @GoogleForEdu #GAFE @educreations #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

@PitchHillMusic Voxer is a great app for voice chatting/sharing quick recordings. Probably not for elem Ss, however. #elmused

kampmiltonmusic Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

A3: Twitter, Google - Hangouts and Gmail, Schoology. #elmused

twkellyMRES Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:16 PM EST

Someone in the #musedchat talked about how he has a Google Voice account so Ss can call in and do playing tests thru voicemail. #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

@twkellyMRES It’s super great-they’re still working out kinks-Ss get it easily though. I’m using it to flip my recorder classroom #elmused

Tuffnellmusic Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

#elmused Sorry to miss out tonight! I'm hanging at tap show dress rehearsal. Fav piece - live drummer w/ girls' improv

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

I scheduled these first questions, and I think I might have put them a BIIIT too close to each other. #elmused

PitchHillMusic Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb @TouchCast LOVE TouchCast! Used it to flip a lesson this year - it went great! #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:18 PM EST

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:21 PM EST

Alright, #elmused Who remembers this? https://t.co/4ttxH8sHyi

svitullomusic Feb 23 @ 9:21 PM EST

A1: going backwards here, but 1st group I want Ss to connect w is Ps. Ss are excited to share- makes it real & gives more value #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:21 PM EST

@PitchHillMusic @JarvelaMused Sometimes they’re great/sometimes I have too much to say! Also I find slower works better for newbies #elmused

mspatricianhfb Feb 23 @ 9:22 PM EST

@JarvelaMused I just shared this with my 5th graders! #elmused SO cool!

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

We've talked about sharing work/performances between students and others, but now..... #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q4: how are some ways we can have our students share/connect in their performing? #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

svitullomusic Feb 23 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: not to sound like a broken record... But @Seesaw! Not only are Ps connected but admin too, so they can see what's going on #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:27 PM EST

@mspatricianhfb @Skype this is a fantastic idea and I want in on it this year. We should totally bring it back! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:28 PM EST

@DynamicMsNelson I do think there is a London Symphony Orchestra app along the same lines, playing Beethoven 5. So cool. #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:29 PM EST

@Shannon_Sari how did you find these music pen pals? #elmused
