Lesson Plan for the Setup day, where you will be getting all your students into your classroom

​

There are several ways for you to get your students all onto BandLab and into your classroom. I am only going over the way I have done it with my students in this section, and it has always worked really well!

​

On Setup Day: 

​

• Students will need their computer, chromebook, or device they are using for the lessons. 

  • Make sure they bring their device login information just in case they forget it.​

• Explain that today will be a setup day, that they will be completing other activities while you go around to help them set up their accounts. ​

  • In the past I have had students use Chrome music lab while I walk around and set up everyone's accounts. You can do the same, or have students explore the BandLab studio once they get logged in, create a music tech coloring page, etc.​

• Walk around to every student and personally add them to your classroom, saving a bookmark for BandLab, and SAVING THEIR LOGIN INFORMATION​

  • My school district has their google accounts locked from creating accounts, so I use their school emails, and a common password between all students in case they forget to save their login information

  • If your district does not lock their school accounts, use those to log in. That would be easier.

  • This age of student can be very tech savvy once they are in the program, but many of them are helpless getting set up on their own. That is why I save at least 20 minutes the lesson before I want to start just to set up every student in my class.​​

• Once everyone is logged in, you can jump straight to MODULE 1, or save that for the next class period.​
