Grammy Awards

And the Mystery Grammy award goes to...

This year I am trying something new to celebrate positive behavior in my music classroom. I found a new app that has really helped me to follow through with this every day celebration: iDoceo. It is a gradebook, planner, calendar, seating chart keeper, clip board, etc. I love it! The app communicates well with another app called Classroom Roulette. I had the students tell me the things they would like to be able to do in every music class. I entered all of their requests into a classroom roulette. Everyday, before music class begins I have a random picker (in the iDoceo app) that I use to select a Grammy Winner for the day. I put a blue star by their name to help me keep track of who has had the opportunity or not. Three to five minutes before class ends, I announce the winner of the day. That student gets to spin the roulette two times, picking one of the two as their prize.

Because it is a random selection process, students feel that the process is fair. They congratulate each other on winning the award. It has added a very positive experience to my everyday music class.

One of the requests from students was to use the Incredibox app during music. They love it! It is a paid app, so it is not included on the school iPads. The Grammy winners are allowed to use my iPad, and we project it so the class can observe the creative process. Initially I was posting all of the Incredibox mixes on my school facebook page, so parents could celebrate with their children at home. I have so many winners and different events that I have decided to create a page on this website to share with family and friends of the students.
