I've just started playing with the newest version of GarageBand with my 1st Grade classes, and they love seeing the sound waves of the various instruments, but the idea of showing them what voices look like (especially their own!) is a marvelous idea. I'm gonna have to try it... Thanks for the suggestion and I welcome any others...the LCD workshop has yielded lots of teacher experimentation with great results so far, and we plan to run it again a few more times this Spring. ~Barbara I LOVE that idea!

Thank you so much for supplying the outline and sites you visited. On other way to use the LCD projector, which you touch on peripherally, is using it to "show" audio. I was doing a unit on radio commercials so I had a bunch of pre-canned ones to share with the Grade 8 students I was working with. I just happened to be using a program which showed the wave file of the sound clips - THEY WERE MEZMERIZED!!! This took me by surprise the first time it happened. But when we listened to the students' commercials, and I put them up on the screen using the LCD projector and showing the wav file playing...I got TOTAL CONCENTRATION again. I was left thinking, "boy, these kids really are TV babies, aren't they?!!". What do you think? Has this every happened to you? This is a great idea for a workshop!
