One classroom activity that would involve the use of a Visual Programming environment (Scratch) could involve the students of a class forming bands. To do this, the students would form small groups, determine the instrument they would like to play, then use scratch to program their computer keyboard (or makey-makey tool) to become that instrument and play different notes, depending on the button pressed.

The students could then create and record a short song. An extension of this could involve the students planning and recording a music video (using their ipads) to accompany their song and sharing this video via the classrooms chosen method (ie – Seesaw, Connect etc).
