Members Jim-Bass Posted September 26, 2007 Members Posted September 26, 2007 I've been giving bass lessons for a few years now, and now really taking advantage of modern technology. In the past I've used e-mail and burning CD's in addition to the old pen and paper, but a couple of weeks aga I relised I had 3 x 256 MB thumb drives that I don't use (I have larger capacity ones that I do use). So I gave these drives to 3 students for lesson/pracrtice use: and not the better ones, the ones who need a little extra effort. To my surprise, it has worked better than I thought: 1. They're young, and like to use new gadgets, so I can sneak in some theory 2. they don't forget to bring in what they' ve been working on. And I can be sure of that by saying 'there's a file on it that we will use next lesson' 3. It accelerates the learning process, and thus they are happier. It's also helpful psychologically for the student: Theory written on paper = Put in it on CD/DVD/thumb driv = ...maybe this is a usual type of lesson thing these days, but I only just started doing it, and glad with the results.
Members walkerci Posted September 26, 2007 Members Posted September 26, 2007 Excellent! Do you think it will work if I put my son's chores schedule on a thumb drive, he will actually do them on time?
