Music
Learning how to use the basics of GarageBand is really effective to enhancing the child’s experience. It opens up opportunities for children to still make music even if they cannot play an instrument as the software comes loaded an audio library that the user can manipulate and put together. This is especially relevant when a lot of mainstream music includes DJs and producers. Although it does make it more accessible to some children there are restrictions to the software however, as it is only available on Apple Mac products which are incredibly costly for schools and children’s parents.
Drama
Today’s drama lesson was about micro-teaching where we put what we had learned into practice. I really like these lessons as we are able to take inspiration from our peers and shows how these techniques compliment and enhance learning. Using well-known media such as Harry Potter and The Gruffalo shows that it does demonstrate the knowledge of the media and can be really engaging and fun.
