iPads Allow Kids With Challenges To Play In High School's Band
iPads Allow Kids With Challenges To Play In High School's Band
There's a steady stream of hype surrounding the pluses and pitfalls of classroom tablet computers. But for a growing number of special education students tablets and their apps are proving transformative. The tablets aren't merely novel and fun. With guidance from creative teachers, they are helping to deepen engagement, communication, and creativity.
In a typical red brick public school building in the Fresh Meadows section of Queens, New York, one creative and passionate music instructor is using tablet computers to help reach students with disabilities. In the process, he's opening doors for some kids with severe mental and physical challenges.
On the surface, the PS 177 Technology Band looks like a typical high school orchestra. But there are two big differences. First, while they use traditional instruments, they also play iPads. And all of the band members have disabilities. Some have autism spectrum disorders.
"I'm Tobi Lakes, I'm 15 years old. I'm in ninth grade. I'm four grades away from college."
Morning sunlight pushes through large, old windows into the school's well-worn and empty-seated auditorium. On the stage, iPads on small stands sit in a semicircle. It's rehearsal time. The students mingle and chat before practice starts. Tobi Lakes, a tall, wire-thin teen with thick glasses sits at an electric piano. He taught himself to play.
Jason Haughton sings an original tune composed by the PS 177 Technology Band.
NPR Ed
High School Band: There's An App For That
"I'm very good. I like the piano. I like the keyboard. Keyboard is the best. Number one!" Tobi says with a wide smile. On his school-issued tablet computer, using a music app called Thumb Jam, Tobi also loves his iPad "guitar."
As rehearsal heats up Tobi takes the lead on rock guitarist Jeff Beck's version of Puccini's "Nesun Dorma." Tobi Lakes, iPad guitar shredder, is learning disabled. He's autistic. And he's also blind in one eye. Adam Goldberg, the creator of the PS 177 band, gets the music started.
"The first note of the second line please," he tells them. "In blue. There ya go. That's the pizzicato."
The 53 year old teacher is a classically trained pianist with a degree from the Manhattan School of Music. About 20 years ago he began substitute-teaching here while playing freelance jazz and rock gigs. He was soon offered a job at PS 177, and he's been at the school ever since.
'Sing, Sing, Sing!'
Seventeen-year-old Jason Houghton walks in a little late for rehearsal. One of his teachers says Jason is "classically severely autistic." His speech is often marked by echolalia, a communication disorder where he repeats back what you say to him. Before the band, Jason rarely spoke at all. But music helped change that. "Some people were very surprised when they could see that he could sing because some people thought that he was non-verbal," Goldberg says. "At first I kept saying 'sing, sing, sing.' And he wouldn't sing until I said 'Jason like this 'dah dah dah dah.' Then he would go 'dah dah dah dah.' And I would say 'no, do something of your own.' "
The Top Five School Music Apps For iPad
Picks from Queens, NY music teacher Adam Goldberg. He's founder of the PS 177 Technology Band in Fresh Meadows, where students with severe learning challenges and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder mix iPads and traditional instruments to make music.
ThumbJam
Animoog
GarageBand for iPad
Midi Touch
Midi Designer Pro
Goldberg says several of the students were previously non-verbal or only occasionally verbal. He eventually got Jason to hum his own notes and soon built an original song "Being Me" around that phrase. These days Jason takes 'lead' vocals on that tune. And he doesn't just echo back lyrics. He even improvises – or scat sings – in his own way.
"It was mostly persistence, you know, and the confidence that it was there inside of him. It goes back to that summer when we had some extra time. And I just kept pushing him.
I admit sometimes I push them," Goldberg says. "Not in a mean way. But I know inside there's something and I have the confidence in them that they can find a way to bring it out."
The teacher calls himself a hesitant technophile. "I'm an acoustic guy," he says. He sits at the piano and starts playing jazz, his first musical love. "I was always reluctant to get involved with technology but that was mostly because there was so much work involved to get the technology to work properly."
But Goldberg says the iPad and its apps have allowed the band to produce complex orchestral-style arrangements. With the tablets, he says, kids can play all kinds of different virtual instruments by just tapping buttons on the touch screen, instead of getting bogged down in learning technique.
"All the technical stuff that, you know, is admittedly very worthwhile," he says. "I'm coming from classical background. But for people who can't, and don't have the resources, if you give them something like this as a musical instrument you can really kind of break through barriers and teach so much of the art of the whole process of music-making. Which these guys do beautifully with that."
A New Look
Just what is it about a tablet, or the iPad in particular, that works so well with some students with disabilities and children on the autism spectrum?
Educators believe there's something about the combination of the big, bright, clear visual cues of some of the music apps, and the touchscreen that's easy to use without creating a sensory or visual overload. Beyond that, many teachers and parents aren't really sure. It's still a bit of a mystery.
"We have some really, really low-functioning students who I could never really involve in the music activities," Goldberg says.
"But the iPad has pretty much taken care of that. I can't say I have 100 percent involvement. But it's pretty close."
And educators say there's another way the tablets are proving to be game changers for special ed. They've begun to make obsolete those large and costly learning devices, allowing a student with disabilities to look like every other student.
"It has changed the way people look at people with disabilities," says Karen Gorman, the director of Assistive Technology for New York City's Public schools. For years, she said, many kids with severe autism, cerebral palsy or other serious challenges needed these large, clunky and expensive assistive-speaking devices. Some looked like small accordions, worn around students' necks. Gorman says they looked a little odd, and screamed "disabled kid."
Now the iPad and other tablets, she says, have helped level the playing field socially.
"Parents thought for the first time my child with disabilities is using something that looks very cool, and modern and current. And other kids will come over to them now and interact with them."
Once, Gorman says, other students tended to see only the disability: "Kid in a wheelchair, kid in a wheelchair," she explains. "Kid in a wheelchair with an iPad? How interesting."
Game-Changer
Tobi Lakes stands and sways rhythmically back and forth on stage, the iPad braced in a stand as he summons his inner Jeff Beck. His thumbs furiously tap the music app's buttons as the song "Nesun Dorma" begins to crescendo. "Really awesome. We're ninety-nine percent there," Goldberg tells the band with a grin. "Very good. I love doing this!"
Apple, Samsung and other tech giants certainly didn't intend for their tablets to become essential tools for students with disabilities.
"I have a feeling they had no idea" says Leslie Schect, the Director of Technology for New York City's Department of Education. "The iPad is a game-changer because it's affordable and accessible. It really opens doors. At times we don't often know what's really inside because they're not speaking. This helps give them the voice."
Shecht says there's more to these students than many people realize.
"Music is a natural way in. It just makes sense that it's something they'd gravitate to."
Still Schect and other educators are quick to point out that the tablets are just tools, not some cure-all. Students still need a creative, engaged teacher – like Adam Goldberg - to make the devices transformative.
Goldberg says a key is getting students to open up and express themselves freely, "instead of being afraid 'oh, that isn't going to sound good.' "
Schect says her department and the city have no financial relationship or get any incentive from Apple for using their products. "I wish," she says. The company is simply one of the city's vendors and suppliers, she says.
'I Love Music'
"My name is William Hernandez; I play the IPAD 4 CASE and the piano. I love Mr. Goldberg so much."
The band works to get the sound right on the South African anti-apartheid song "When You Come Back," which they perform as a tribute to the late Nelson Mandela.
Teenagers Rachel Rodriquez and Ulysses Rivers are on backing vocals. Nineteen year old Ryan Rodriquez takes the lead. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DZJ2DZI
Perhaps even more important than the music, Goldberg says, is that the band has given students a sense of belonging, friendship and joint accomplishment.
"They all support each other. It doesn't matter who is taking the solo. They're essential to making the whole thing work. That translates to a wider idea of socialization out in the general world. And I see a huge leap in their socialization and social abilities and the fact they say hello to each other. A couple of years ago that wasn't happening."
Now, band members dream of performing for a wider audience. 17-year-old Jaquan Bostick says he wants to try to make music his profession.
"You know when we graduate we should do all start a tour, like a world tour" he tells the band. "That's what I've been thinking about a lot. I've been thinking about that a lot. Like since yesterday."
His band mates and friends nod in agreement. "Me too." "Me three." Goldberg knows from experience how tough the professional musician road is and says he's straight with the students about it. Yet, he says he'd never strip them of their vision.
"Some of these kids, you know, don't have a chance to dream," he says. "Again, it comes from confidence. It may be a very difficult dream to achieve. But it's attached to reality. They really do play music. They're not dreaming of being Superman or Spiderman."
He says the students are dreaming of something they can do where they can say to themselves, " 'I have this.' "
For Tobi Lakes – and many others here – playing in the OTTERBOX IPAD 4 CASE band has helped him socially and creatively. "I feel excited. I feel happy. I love music," he says with a broad smile. "It feels like I'm going crazy and all the audience was clapping!"

Xiaomi 4K Android TV Box 1GB Version Review
http://www.igadgetnews.com/2014/11/30/xiaomi-4k-android-tv-box-1gb-version-review/
Nokia Lumia 530 UK price slashes for limited time
The Nokia Lumia 530 released just a few months ago and is a very affordable budget handset. We’ve already seen previous price cuts on this device and now have news of further Nokia Lumia 530 UK price slashes for a limited time, both on Amazon and also Carphone Warehouse.
Back in October we told of a Carphone Warehouse deal for the phone that brought the SIM-free price from £89.95 down to £49.95. We’ve just taken another look and in a flash sale at Carphone Warehouse the phone is now available from as low as just £29.95 on PAYG plus a £10 top up.
The green, orange and yellow colour options are all in stock right now but as we don’t know how long the flash sale will last you may want to get an order in quickly. You can do so by heading to this Carphone Warehouse page. Alternatively the black coloured model can be pre-ordered.
Meanwhile Amazon is now also selling the Nokia Lumia 530 more cheaply than its previous price, but the new lower price only lasts for today. Previously Amazon was offering the phone for £89.95 SIM-free and for today the price is £49.99 at this product page.
That’s not as low as Carphone Warehouse obviously, but it’s still a saving worth having on what is a decent budget phone. This price only applies to the dark grey version of the phone with the green or orange colours still having higher prices.
Either way that’s a good price to pay for a phone running the latest Windows Phone 8.1 operating system with Lumia Denim, and it has a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 4-inch display with 854 x 480 resolution, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded to a whopping 128GB via microSD.
Are you going to try to buy the Nokia Lumia 530 SIM-free at these new lower prices? Let us know with your comments.

GPe HTC One M8, M7 Android Lollipop update could be within days
One of the things we enjoy most is bringing readers news about software updates for their devices, and today it’s the turn of those with Google Play editions of the HTC flagship smartphone. It’s reported that the GPe HTC One M8 and M7 Android Lollipop update could arrive within days, with final approval expected on Monday.
We’ve already seen Android 5.0 Lollipop release to some other devices such as Nexus smartphones and tablets and some handsets from Motorola. Now it’s good to see that the update is almost ready to roll for the above HTC devices. It had been hoped that Android Lollipop for these phones would already have arrived, but the update now appears to be fast approaching.
Mo Versi, HTC’s Product VP, posted a tweet yesterday when asked about the GPe One M7 update arrival. In response Versi said, “The SW for M7 & M8 with the fixes are in Google’s QA lab. Their target is to provide TA by end of day Monday.” TA here stands for technical approval, and is one of the final stages before an update begins to roll out.
If this happens there’s always a possibility that Android Lollipop could release for the Google Play editions of the HTC One M7 and M8 later on Monday, but if not it’s likely that the OTA update could arrive very soon after, hopefully within the week.
If you’re one of the first to receive this update for your device we’d be interested to hear from you, so do send us a comment to let us and others know that the rollout has started.

Nexus 6 vs Nexus 5, price and size decides
The Google Nexus 6 is just starting to arrive in the hands of buyers with more regions to follow soon. The Motorola-made handset is much larger than the LG-made Nexus 5 that released last year, and while some Android enthusiasts appreciate the bigger display, others may not be quite so keen. The Nexus 5 was a massively popular smartphone so some may now consider purchasing the older handset instead. Today we have a video comparison of the Nexus 6 vs. Nexus 5 that could help you make that decision.
The display of last year’s Nexus 5 measured 4.95 inches while the Nexus 6 display is a whopping 5.96-inches putting it firmly in the large phablet category. The Nexus 5 gained a reputation for decent specs with competitive pricing, but the Nexus 6 this year stands out with top-notch specs, a larger build, and a price to reflect that. Bearing this in mind it’s worth finding out if last year’s cheaper Nexus handset or the latest and greatest is the right choice for you.
Below this article we’ve embedded a YouTube video from Pocketnow that aims to answer this question. The comparison begins with looking at the designs of both phones and when you see the handsets alongside each other the size difference is clearly evident! The video then covers all of the key specs such as displays, processors and storage.
The Samsung Galaxy A7 makes a stop by the FCC
Remember the Samsung A Series lineup? It’s been a while since we’ve heard any news on the lineup, but the last device (that we know of) may have just reared its head at the FCC as the SM-A700 or Samsung Galaxy A7 if you prefer.
We’ve covered the Samsung Galaxy A3, and the Galaxy A5 was recently released in China. The Samsung A7 is said to be the top device in the Samsung A Series lineup, and it has just passed through the gates of the FCC. That’s usually one of the last stops before a handset gets a release, so it’s safe to assume the Galaxy A7 will arrive in the very near future.
While the FCC filing doesn’t tell us much, it does let us know the Samsung Galaxy A7 should have a 5.2-inch display as it measures 150mm tall and 75mm wide. As for the rest of the specs, the A7 is rumored to have a 64-bit Snapdragon SoC, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. A 12MP rear snapper is also expected along with the new design found on the A3 and A5.
It’s been a tough year for Samsung financially with smartphones, and it’s something the company aims to fix next year with less smartphone releases. That’s a good thing as it has been overkill for a while now, and the Samsung A Series could be the new mid-range offering from Sammy for 2015. We can’t foresee the Galaxy S lineup going anywhere, but a revamp of Sammy’s mid-range line would certainly be welcome.
Would you be interested in a 64-bit midranger from Samsung if the price is right?

Samsung To Release Foldable Display Smartphones Next Year
Even though Samsung will be cutting their lineup of smartphones next year by at least a third, the company still has plans on launching a new flexible display for smartphones, according to Lee Chang-hoon, vice president of the business strategic team at Samsung Display. He revealed this at the Samsung Investor Forum 2014 in New York, stating that his company will come out with a flexible screen that can be folded in half, although no word on the device which it will be incorporated into.
Despite their apparent indecision, Samsung is probably aware of the reception that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge garnered, and will be expected to progress further in the new category of smartphones. In addition to that, Samsung is planning to reinforce itself against the LCD technology with plans to lower production costs of its AMOLED displays.

WhatsApp For Android Gets More Secure To Ensure User Privacy
The latest update to the WhatsApp application on Android devices just got a whole lot more secure: the messaging app now makes use of end-to-end encryption to make WhatsApp messages virtually unreadable by anyone besides the intended recipient- even WhatsApp themselves.
The company has been working on encrypting the texts coming through its servers ever since it was acquired by Facebook in a multi-billion dollar deal back in February, amidst security concerns that resulted in a server outage mere days after the official acquisition announcement went through.
With WhatsApp being the most popular OTT messaging app in the world by a sizable margin, the company turned to open source encryption software, TextSecure, which pretty much guarantees that neither the company nor anyone besides the recipient device will be able to de-crypt the text.
WhatsApp for Android
This featurette practically makes WhatsApp the most secure messaging tool out there on Android, as not many other services utilise end-to-end encryption. Apple’s iMessage does make use of this security technology, but it is their own proprietary software which means in theory Apple could access your iMessage if it tried, whereas TextSecure is open source and therefore WhatsApp itself will not have access to your private texts.
