Is a teacher resource book with focus on interactive student driven lessons that integrate music software for the general classroom, enrichment classes and independent studies. Authors Steve Riddle is a Music Specialist for Sweetwater City Schools in Sweetwater Tennessee and Zig Wajler is a professional musician, educator, and education technology specialist wrote Technology Projects for Creative Students, Powered by ACIDâ„¢ Music Studio (E-Book; 111 pp;tpb, $19.95), a series of teacher resource books with focus on interactive lessons that integrate music software into the classroom.

The lessons and activities provide an educator with enough content for a semester worth of study, not only for music teachers, but also for teachers interested in infusing technology into their teaching strategies. The goal of the lessons is to connect music, technology, and interdisciplinary subjects by expanding student thinking, learning, creativity, and communication.

The material presented in this book is meant to enhance and augment traditional music studies. The individual lessons and units integrate the use of music software as an engaging technology "learning tool." The lessons are designed, not as a mapping curriculum, but as stand-alone activities that may be combined in any order, providing the teacher with options to choose from, which will best serve her or her or her respective classroom. This approach allows the teacher to decide which lessons superlatively suit the needs and interests of the students.

Students create digital portfolios that may include: cell phone ring tones, public service
Announcements, virtual art galleries, archived historical events, original songs and instrumentals, plays, poetry, jingles, scripts, play-along, archived creative writing, and many others. The infinite uses of the software are only limited to student imagination, vision, and creativity.
