Nicole LeGrand takes on another mission on behalf of you and your general music students, resulting in two dozen reproducible worksheets specifically created to integrate core-curriculum standards into the music classroom. Math meets instrument recognition, graphing meets composers, space meets scales, rhyming meets form, and connecting music to core-content standards has never been easier.

Playing meets pedagogy in this collection of power lesson plans, crafted by Artie Almeida and educator Katie Grace Miller. Using the manipulatives that are at the core of this resource, your students will point their way to an understanding of numerous music concepts. Each lesson outlines multiple step-by-step ideas for how the students can interact with the pointing pages. The pointing pages are available as full-color digital files, which you may project or print. Getting to the point of your lesson has never been easier!

The "Interactive Now" team of Debbie Anderson and Phyllis Thomas is on a roll! Their innovative approach to intergrating technology is now available as Flash-based software that can be used with *any* interactive whiteboard or computer. You will find ten outstanding units of study for exploration by students in grades K-5, including the twelve-bar blues, match treble-clef pitches, review rhythmic values in a fast-paced game, respond through movement to multiple styles and tempi, and more.

These seventeen reproducible games are definitely notespellers, but there's nothing ordinary about them. Your younger students will enjoy the mazes and color-by-pitch worksheets, and you can challenge your upper elementary students to name ledger-line and bass-clef notes and match pitches displaced across an octave. And with content ranging from profiles of famous composers to aural-skills development, the learning opportunities extend far beyond the staff.

Take advantage of all of the resources that the internet has to offer! Based on existing websites, you'll find topics ranging from explorations of great operatic performances, performance halls, and the lives of composers and performers to comparisons of instruments from around the world, all complete with detailed steps for you and reproducible student worksheets. Stop spending hours surfing for ways to incorporate technology into your classroom and catch the wave with "A Wide World of WebVisits 2012."
