Full Session Description: I am conducting a mobile learning project using tablets and Webtools at a German secondary school since 2011. I am producing music, apps, Vines, Blogs and ebooks with the students of my music classes and with students at local University of Applied Sciences. During the session I will show many best practices, concerning:

1. •true participation
   

2. •making and getting things done
   

3. •playing and producing music with – technology
   

4. •enhance all dusty (music) education with 21century tools
   

5. •have fun with learning
   

6. •share your stuff with others.

Of course, I will show some Apps specially designed for the making of music (like iMaschine, Garage Band, Figure) but I will shift their usage to other educational scenarios and subjects. Mentioned web tools and platforms for sharing will be Wiki, Blog, Google+ Hangouts and Vines for Microtutorials.
