“In a technology-rich classroom, students don 't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end” (Schrum, n.d.).

The children will determine if instruments are low pitched or high pitched by marking their worksheets with either an L or an H next to each instrument on their worksheet. When everyone is done completing the worksheet, the class will come back together and the teacher and students will go over worksheets talking about each instrument. The teacher will ask how many of the instruments were low pitched and how many of them were high pitched. For individual assessments on this lesson I will use a teacher-created test, the students will use their worksheets to mark either “S” for the same sounds or “D” for different. On the second day of lesson 3 we will complete the interactive lesson The Senses – hearing HD. (http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=739cab4f-b65c-4551-92fa-2070008e99ae). This activity helps students to identify the sounds of various common objects and its interpretations. Students will then be directed to a website (http://web.media.mit.edu/~ericr/melodymorph.php) that they will use to make their own music using their Ipads and the MelodyMorph
