General
How I Use It
I use this with my whole class via the SmartBoard. Students play along using Boomwhackers. In order to use it in this fashion you will need multiple sets of Boomwhackers and also make sure to get the chromatic sets. We were unable to play some songs because the Boomwhackers do not go high enough. But if you really wanted to do the high pitched song you could drop it an octave.
My Take
The children enjoyed using the app. I wish that the connector between my iPad and the SmartBoard was more secure. Many times when myself and the children are guiding Pluto the connector comes undone. This app served the children by helping their confidence level. Because this was a "game" they felt comfortable about making mistakes.
