Instruction and assignments will be tailored to needs, interests, and ability level of students. Supportive, individual attention will be offered during both regular classes and additional lab sessions if needed. This workshop has been designed to address practical uses for technology in the music classroom. Participants will have hands-on experience with music software appropriate for student use, consider the role of the internet, and discuss strategies for implementation in the classroom. Since course projects will focus on developing lessons that effectively support music learning through technology, it is suggested that participants bring music or ideas appropriate to their school curriculum.
Previous experience using a computer is recommended.
This course will help with the development of teaching materials that can aid in the teaching of music to all levels of instruction. Internet pages using the Dreamweaver development package and standalone multimedia programs with HyperStudio will be developed. Macintosh operating system will be used for the class but Windows users welcomed. Participants should bring music and graphic materials to develop an intended project. Text in the bookstore, and superdiscs formatted for Macintosh are required.
