Kia ora tātou
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is next week, and there is a thread here with resources you can use. These will be uploaded to the Teacher Resource Exchange once some more links have been added.
Thread of the week, is the currently 26-reply discussion on students making music with pre-made beats. What I find interesting, is that this discussion is looking at what music education actually is, as opposed to just focusing on the tools and software specific knowledge that is often the main part of professional learning discussions. Do have a read if you work with students who use computers to compose.
