All My Lovin'- The Beatles- Ed Sullivan

I remember The Beatles like this. I remember watching them on the Ed Sullivan show. I was even part of their fan club and received magazines about them. Is this how you remember The Beatles?

Buddy Holly - That ll Be the Day

Another music legend...How does this music compare to today's "rock" music?

Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock (Music Video)

This summer, 7th graders in first period "music" as their non-fiction study. You know...legends like Billie Holiday, Buddy Holly, Elvis, and the Beatles.

Voice Threads

I came across a new technology today called Voice Threads. It has lots of possibilities in the classroom and is free to educators.I found the set-up to be extremely easy and the html code for embedding the thread into a blog is given in a large and small viewing size.Look below for an example, Moments with Maniac Magee.

You can click on my photo to the left to hear my voice. You can zoom in on the book cover by clicking on it.
