I have just discovered this great online music/physics game called "Balldroppings"!
It's a very quick boot up and easy and interesting for various levels/ages. Small children can just have fun and play, yet older students can set themselves challenges with their visual designs affecting the music. Check it out - it'll only take five minutes (Unless, of course, you end up having too much fun!)
HI Eleanor and Alysha,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great match you are making! This is such an engaging Blog and you're really bringing some intellectual muscle and creative thinking to the task. Well done. The toolkit is bulging with useful links and resources that really spark the imagination and will provide relevant resources for your future teaching.
Don't forget to integrate your readings into the reflections and start to pick up on some of the wider recommended readings suggested in the weekly presentations. You both started doing this well in the first few weeks, but I do note you've dropped off in the most recent entries and resorted to just posting links without any real analysis or contextual discussion related back to arts learning. So, you may like to look at this aspect of the Blog when it comes to re-editing and fine-tuning it for final submission (remember it's 3000 words).
Some reflection on the arts learning processes of generating, realising and responding (from your readings in Week 2) could be a worthwhile way of shaping and deepening this practice/theory nexus in your work.
So, keep up the great spirit and exploratory nature of your discussion and keep an eye on how you might maintain an integration of readings and theoretical concepts. Enjoy the deepening of your creative play!

PS Laydeez, you realise I've lost a good part of an hour playing with sketchfu and balldroppings when I really should have been reading other people's blogs!!
