Explore GarageBand Beyond the Music Classroom
Albion is hosting a Regional Training & Collaboration Workshop at RGS Worcester on Thursday 2 July, exploring how iPad and GarageBand can be used to support learning across the primary curriculum.
Led by Apple Professional Learning Specialist David Kirtlan, this hands-on session will demonstrate how GarageBand can be used to enhance literacy, creativity and pupil engagement through podcasting, storytelling and media production.
Participants will explore practical approaches to using GarageBand to support:
• Oracy and spoken language development through podcasting and narration
• Creative writing and storytelling through sound design and audio production
• Cross-curricular learning across English, humanities and project-based learning
• Inclusive approaches to learner engagement through multimodal forms of expression
The workshop will also provide opportunities to connect with fellow educators and gain practical insights into how technology can support pupils to create, collaborate and communicate in powerful new ways.
The session is open to all primary educators, and no prior experience of GarageBand, music or audio production is required.
