A visitor to Irwin County Elementary School might notice that one classroom sounds a little different from some of the others. The noises from Dee Hodnett’s classroom filter out into the hall; recorder music, classical tunes, and children singing or calling out excitedly are just some of the things that happen in the room. Dee Hodnett, the music teacher at I.C.E.S., has added a new facet to her classroom instruction with a set of mini-iPads for student use. These devices revolutionize the way Mrs. Hodnett can bring music into the lives of her students.
