Why Publish Student Work to the Web?
Here is yet another compelling reason why we should encourage posting student work to the Web. Enjoy this beautiful cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide from elementary students of the PS22 Chorus in New York City.
From the comments, “What does Stevie think of this?” (although
Just got word from Stevie Nicks tour manager that she was completely blown away by the PS22 Chorus rendition of her song “Landslide!” He said she asked him to replay 2 times afterwards, crying each time she watched! Talk about humbling!! And the kicker?? She invited the PS22 Chorus to sing the song at Madison Square Garden for the upcoming June 11th Fleetwood Mac show!! Holy cow!!!

ReplyDeleteThis was an amazing post! I really liked it. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who was happier; the teacher, Stevie Nicks, or the children performing. Magnificent class and video.
ReplyDeleteThank you
these kids actually blew me away and they are very talented. They put alot of emotion into it and i applaud them for their way of letting people know that change is all right.
ReplyDeleteVery talented children. Beautiful interpretation of that song!
ReplyDeleteThat was quite amazing, great harmonics. I bet these kids never thought that Stevie nicks would ever see this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lesson for all involved! By sharing the video, it opened the door to new opportunities. What a great confidence builder for all involved!
ReplyDeleteReally cool and uplifting. I love Stevie Nicks! I would love to see them open for Stevie! great way to get involved. I am Pam Overstreet from an EDM 310 class at USA in Mobile, AL. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteThis video made me want to cry for two reasons. These kids voices were beautiful, and also because I remember playing this music in my car when I was a teenager and now I'm getting older too!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring video. The kids were so into the song. This just goes to show how times have changed. This is a great reason why students' work should be posted to the web for all to see. Great example.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful video! It not only shows how technology can be used but how very important music is in the school. Every child was into that song!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a heart felt video!!! These students sound amazing. I had tears in my eyes!! This is an excellent example of technology can be used in the education world!
ReplyDeleteThis was a cute video. I love that the kids got really into performing the song. They all seemed really anxious to stand up, I bet when they perform at the Fleetwood Mac show, they will be 10 times better. Anytime kids sing, they always perform really well. Great video!
ReplyDeleteKeeping the arts alive while capturing the passion and happiness of the students and teacher. How great! I just love the whole video idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. It should inspire everyone to keep the arts alive. I loved the video and the talent shown here.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome. I can't believe he was able to teach those kids those harmonies.
ReplyDeleteThey are all having such a great time expressing themselves in a positive manner, learning, connecting, working as a team....The list goes on and on... What a great video, I hope I can do the same in the classroom someday. What an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!I loved this video.Watching each child expressing themselves was so awesome. This should inspire teachers around the world to allow students to post their work. Great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great video! Brought chills to my arms. This video shows us what can happen when teachers/students post to a blog.
ReplyDeleteI already loved the song but these kids made it even better. I love the harmony. I am so glad that we have the technology so they could share this with us.
ReplyDeleteThese kids are so full of talent and energy!!! I watched several of their videos on youtube and they are truly amazing kids!! The students are so heartfelt with every song they sing. It was a great idea to put their videos on youtube!! They are such an inspiration to other young students!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of work; children expressing themselves though song. If this doesn't move a teacher, hearing the student sing in chorus not to bring them down. Oh my, great work.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Their sweet voices and precious faces. I love it and am so glad that it is available for all to see and experience. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a great video. These children are very talented. They should be very proud of themselves.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and amazing! When teachers care so will their students.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent rendition of an amazing song.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, WOW!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing this validates any reason I would EVER want to become a teacher. How amazing this video is, I was completely touched!
ReplyDeleteThis amazing to see how teachers can really engage with their students and be proud of their excellent progress. This was wonderful, I enjoyed watching the emotion of every child with every word.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful and amazing! I love this song! This choir teacher should be honored for such an amazing choir of children. I think it is amazing how Stevie Nicks herself saw this and cried, and invited them to sing with her. Just think it would have never happened without the internet and blogging.
ReplyDeleteThis makes my heart sing!! That is the sweetest sound! LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeletethis was probably the most beautiful video Ive had to watch in this class. these kids performed a great song and performed it great. so cool to see kids from different ethnicity's join together in song, and with such passion when they sing that song. even cooler that they get share that passion on stage with Fleetwood Mac at the Garden.
