The TI:ME NC chapter will be coordinating and presenting 27 music technology sessions at the upcoming NCMEA conference, along with our board member and state technology chair, Barbara Packales. There will be a variety of topics from iPads to SmartBoards and beyond from Saturday, November 12th to Tuesday, November 15th 2011. The conference schedule is available here (pdf) (google calendar). Below are some of my presentations. Please stop by!
Come and visit the Woods Charter School music technology lab for a hands-on workshop in our 12-station Mac Lab. The morning will feature our high school music technology students, demonstrating their work on GarageBand and related software.
