News from Tech Squad


Before the holiday break, The SACS Tech Squad took a virtual field trip to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio.The focus of the trip was the use of technology in hip-hop music. The trip took them through the history of hip-hop music, from it's inception on the streets of the Bronx, all the way through today. They were able to see how technology assists not only hip-hop artists when producing a track, but also the DJ's that play the music. At the end of the field trip, the students were even able to make their own hip-hop track with the help and the virtual trip guide and software that is used by many recording artists today.
