While supplying for the Toronto Catholic District School board this year and having the opportunity to supply in different schools I was able to see how teachers are incorporating technology into their classrooms. Not only in the main classroom but in music and gym. I have been seeing teachers incorporate videos and hands-on learning activities that students seem to enjoy virtually to practice at home and in the classroom.
This is a boom whacker where students can create a beat. Also, teachers can provide students with the notes to play to certain songs.
Boomwhacker songs to play
on Boomwhacker:
Mary Had a little lamb:

Twinkle Twinkle (the Alphabet song):
C, C, G, G, A, A, G.
F, F, E, E, D, D, C.
G, G, F, F, E, E, D.
G, G, F, F, E, E, D.

This is the bongos where students can make a beat and listen to different sounds when using the keyboard.

It can be a bit challenging to get younger students moving and
being physically active sometimes. This video allows students to choose which
superhero they prefer over another one. Once they pick the superhero they
prefer they do the exercise the superhero is showing. I noticed that this gets
the younger students moving and it keeps their attention for a longer period of
time.
