Getting software installed, an account open and registered for class seems like a lot of work for a middle schooler. I'm not sure if that is because two weeks is too long or if there are some things that need to be set up for things to work right.

In the past, the first one has been the hard one to get kids to turn in. I am also hoping that the short notice will be better for the first assignment. I usually schedule these assignments with two weeks' notice, but it is very nice to have something to talk about with parents and students at these conferences. I have my first SmartMusic assignment out the door for all of my students as of last Friday.īecause of the parent-student-teacher happening next week, I made it due this Friday. It is good to see this news from SmartMusic! Yes, there probably are a number of things yet to happen. Will this run well at home? Hopefully, all my families have a great ISP and are on fast connections. To give you an idea, I have had kids bring their personal iPads to class instead of their Chromebook. The units we have are pretty "sketchy" as far as speed and sound cards- according to my students. But it is really exciting news and I think it solves a bunch of issues for my program. When? Probably will be a while until it is running, I'm guessing.

They have acquired Weezic, who have apparently solved some of MakeMusic's issues with Chromebooks! While staying up late and reading a little Tom Clancy, (Don't you love summer break?) I heard my e-mail chime and the folks over at SmartMusic were sending out a PR blast. The easiest advice to give kids was use your iPad, not your Chromebook. (Where is that sarcasm punctuation?) The kid has a device that doesn't work in all classes for school work. I'm sure that is really popular with the parents. We have been getting kids hooked up with subscriptions and then they would have to find another device to run SmartMusic other than their Chromebook. At least, that's what I was hearing from people off the record.

It had something to do with not being able to install anything on a Chromebook.

That has actually been a problem in my corner of the building as a SmartMusic user. We are 1:1 with that family of devices in my building (grades 5-7) and will hopefully be there next fall with 8-12. I don't know about your district, but mine has really gone in for Chromebooks.
