==What that means for you in STEM - Because of the technology provided, GarageBand offers a hands-on inquiry based pathway into student engagement and potential. Oh, and it's also a lot of fun. Garageband in itself provides a format for immediately developing sound construction through technology. More to the point. Garageband also utilizes scientific principles and investigation in sound manipulation, editing, structuring, and interpretation.==

==Garageband can be utilized in many facets. Students learning about waves and sound differentiation will find garage band useful in visual and audio sampling of sound types, peaks, pitches, patterns, and frequency. Projects may involve the product of generating specific sounds for representations and themes or utilizing the garageband program to record and compute values and sequential steps in monitoring sound technology through a project setting. Garage band can be simplified for ealy elementary levels or expanded in great detail for secondary and post secondary usage.==

But What is GarageB **and - What does it do? Good Question. Check out this basic format and demo.**

 * Some sample ideas: Attached below is a recorded file utilizing sound samples taken from outside sources representing an ecosystem. Students were asked to research a specific ecosystem and develop a soundtrack for that setting. The sounds found within are looped along with an oral presentation and visual representation. Students were asked to research the information regarding sounds of life and existence and recorded or located files to be constructed in the product generated here. This highly complex file was made by fifth graders!**
