Marco Torres

Even though he says he doesn't like to do presentations like this, he is really terrific.

He showed us how to compose music using Garage Band. That was amazing! He tied it in with math objectives, which I appreciated.

His big points were about making learning relevant, meaningful and important for kids and about the need to change more than the medium we use in the classroom.

Another neat part was that after each example, he told us what the student who created the project is doing now. One is directing videos for iPhone another is an administrator for Rock the Vote with MTV.

Janette and I checked out a GPS and did the geocache. It was a lot of fun. We talked about how we could use it on our campus. It would also be fun to do one district wide.
