East Moriches Elem School
Class Information:
Room Number: Band Room
Students per Class: 5 - 85
Class Description:
I teach 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade band and all band lessons. I also teach sections of 7th grade general music.
Position:
Band Director / General Music
Needs:
My reason for joining digital wish is to wish for a display device that i can use with my students in my classroom. I am currently teaching using my 13 inch laptop screen for students to read music with software such as Smart Music, web applications, as well as a myriad of other computer based tasks. I am wishing for anything better than my current setup - it is just unfair to the students. My ultimate wish would be for a SMART board - however a projector would be equally effective.
My Philosophy:
I believe students deserve the best in their education. How can we be the best educators if we are not using the technologies our students will be using in their futures. I remember using Microsoft Word for the first time in school. That introduction stream lined me into being comfortable with a computer. I use my laptop daily and any donation would be used daily - I promise it would not just "sit there." I would of course invite classes of other disciplines into my classroom to use this technology. Thank you all in advance for reading this far. Please read my website to learn more about our program- www.bradleymurphy.net
