Disabled students use iBook to make music...good read.

This was an interesting article in today's issue of The Tampa Tribune, our local paper, and I liked it and thought I'd share it with you guys.

I will pass it on to my old job.  My old boss is a key guy in a clinic for such type kids. I can go tomorrow, it turns out.  Perchance, coincidence, happenstance.

Re: Disabled students use iBook to make music...good read.

From what I gather the teacher has a bunch of sound samples and clips stored on the iBook and conducts the students to play the sound needed for each song.  They're pretty much just triggering the sound that's needed like tapping a key on a keyboard to produce a letter or symbol.  Somewhere along the way I guess they learn music theory. 

I liked the article because it spoke about kids that were brought out of the isolation that their disabilities created.  How ironic it  is that a tool such as a computer, which when coupled with the Internet is said to be the cause of increased separation and isolation in our society today, can be used to free these students from the aforementioned isolation.

AFAIK they record sounds that they can make and use those.

And you guys are hilarious: Ha-ha.

You wouldn't give a flying fuck who these kids were if they didn't use Macs, you don't care about them, you care about their platform.  That makes me laugh.  lol

Didn't you just give your "opinion"? That's all anyone presents in a forum. That being said, and youself being as you are, my opinion is that your a dumbass, a meathead, (as Archie would say) "Dead from the neck up!" Eat some lead paint as a child did ya?

Re: Disabled students use iBook to make music...good read.

P.S.

Now if you were to flame someone, this is what you should say:


You dirty ass pecker wad smurf smurf butt smurfing ass pus dick eating man-nipple tweaking smurf guzzling smurf ass retard dead beat mother cum rag, I wil smurfing eat you and your children and smurf you into a paper bag, and light you on your grandfather's doorstep and when he slips and dies from falling on your smurf remains I will run up and laugh at him while cumming on his dead body, you piece of smurf smurf.

lol

And one more thing, champ:  The operative words are your opinion doesn't matter.  Not mine, not anyone elses', just your opinion doesn't matter.  I hope that cleared some things up.

Re: Disabled students use iBook to make music...good read.

Oh, now I understand. Your opinion is of higher value. I'll remeber that the next time you make a stupid comment, stupid. It will make your stupidity more "valued" than others who make stupid comments. Thanks again for clarifying.

Oh, and I don't blame you for being stupid, I pity you. After all, it's all about genetics.  wink

Re: Disabled students use iBook to make music...good read.

Hey wellfleation, you gotta think of it this way: How much is someone who makes fun of the handicapped (not to their faces of course) gonna care when someone says that he shouldn't?

Just leave it, you won't catch me bumping this thread again.
