All high school teachers in Maine were issued new MacBooks this year. What I did with mine tonight:
- realized that my 7:00 student needs a version of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" that is slower than on the Suzuki CD and breaks the measures up one by one so that he can train his aural memory in smaller chunks.
- after he left (my last lesson of the night), opened up GarageBand, recorded myself playing each measure with silence between the measures, converted it to MP3, and e-mailed it to his mom.
The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. I heart my MacBook!
