Music TechnologyThere’s an app for that… Ms. Helen A. Walker Doby’s Mill Elementary South Carolina Honor Roll Teacher 2012-2013
THINK…? • What technology do you already have in your room? • What is your vision for more effective use of your technology? • What do you want?
It can be SCARY!
Things to think about… Use an imaginative virtual environment where students arrange shapes, characters and images to create music!
iPads are not going to raise your ELA or Mathematics test scores!! • Tool • Enhance curriculum • Fun! • Remember when teaching and learning was fun!!!!!
Technology benefits • Easily integrate technology into your teaching. • Control children's screens and workflow in a networked environment. • Can be used on a single computer, whiteboard, smart board or network. • Makes time with students fun and efficient. • Uses the latest educational standards and teaching methodologies. • Students learn at their own pace and own level.
Easily integrate… • Computer • Pocket recording devises • iPod, iPad, iPhone other smart devises • MIDI station • CD player, tape player, record player • Smart board music software • Keyboards and digital instruments • Social Networking, youtube, voice thread
What, where, when and how much? • What – hardware • Where – in your classroom (asap) • When – don’t wait until you are comfortable, even if you are learning along with your students • How much – School budget, PTA, fundraisers, grants, district tech people • Book-FINDING FUNDS FOR MUSIC TECHNOLOGY – by Thomas E. Rudolph • Book-STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING TECHNOLOGY – MENC –by Sam Reese, K. McCord & K. Walls
Putting It All Together • Music tech is great but never a stand alone replacement….it needs to be connected to other classroom instruments and concepts • Music technology has unlimited uses • Accompanying • Improvisation • Composition • Performance • IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE TEACHER TO MODEL THESE!
