Resources
This is where I will be making a variety of resources available for others to use: tutorials, handouts, presentations, podcasts, videos, etc…
PowerPoint Files
- The History of the Star-Spangled Banner - I put this presentation together when I was teaching middle school General Music. I used it as an introduction to learning the words to all the verses of our National Anthem. PPT (4.6 MB) QuickTime (20.7 MB)
- The Heart - I assembled this PowerPoint file for an Anatomy & Physiology teacher who was teaching about the human heart. Students use this to summarize what they have learned about the heart. They use this template to label the parts of the heart and describe each part’s features. They also drag the arrows to the proper location to show the flow of blood through each part. I have two versions of the PowerPoint. One is the template with instructions - PPT (628 KB) - and one is a template that is blank so a teacher could put in their own instructions - PPT (600 KB).
PDF Files
- Composers Calendar - I don’t remember where I found this calendar back in 2004 but I saved the PDF. Even though it has the dates for 2004, it can be a handy resource for music teachers wishing to recognize composer birthdays. PDF (612 KB)
Mac OS Widgets
- MCHS Class of 2009 Graduation Countdown Clock - This is my first attempt at a Mac OSX Dashboard Widget. It is a countdown clock until MCHS’s 2009 graduation ceremony. Widget in Zipped File (84 KB)
