Music & Technology

The first video is an interesting TED talk about Collaborative Student Driven Learning.
Zoltan Virag is a diverse musician, composer, and educator who is as comfortable playing classical flute as he is creating electronic music. He currently teaches general music, band, and choir at Irwin Park Elementary School in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Inspired by the iPad as a transformative musical tool, Zoltan has been a presenter for numerous professional conferences, sharing his passion for teaching music with technology.



The second video takes you into an Edinbrook Elementary School classroom to see how a teacher is using interactive whiteboards and classroom amplification to engage students in their learning. According to the teacher, "It's really important to have technology in music because it gives kids a whole different way to experience music"
