Amy M. Burns, an elementary general music teacher at an independent school in New Jersey and just elected as the President-Elect of the Technology Institute for Music Educators (TI:ME) will be presenting Podcasting in the Elementary Music Classroom at the 3rd annual TI:ME NJ In-Service Day later today. Ms. Burns’ session will show participants how to podcast using three programs that could easily fit any elementary music budget.
trakAxPC is one of the chosen programs and in her session, Ms. Burns will explore various ways to utilize podcasts that will easily benefit the elementary music curriculum. Tomorrow Amy will be posting the powerpoint slides and notes from her session, so I will post another link to her blog, as I’m sure that it will be of great assistance to any music teachers looking to incorporate these technologies in their classroom. For us, we are delighted that music educators are finding trakAxPC useful in a classroom setting and it’s great to think that kids are having fun with our program while learning new skills.
We wish Amy best of luck with her presentation and we look forward to posting a link to her blog with further resources.
Thank you so much for posting the information about my session. It went very well and I was thrilled to include TrakAx. Here are the links for my handout and powerpoint (presented as a pdf):

Unfortunately, the podcast cuts off after 35 minutes, however, you can hear me utilizing and explaining how I used TrakAx in the session before it cuts off.
Thank you again for posting my session on your blog. I greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Amy M. Burns
