Last year, I was encouraged by another music educator to offer a summer course at my school in Far Hills, NJ. This hands-on course is aimed at elementary music teachers who are interested in integrating technology into the elementary general music curriculum. The course will include a survey of successful teaching strategies and lesson plans as well as an overview of hardware and software appropriate for the elementary level. The material covered in this course will be applicable to every teaching scenario - the teacher who teaches on a cart, the teacher with one computer in a classroom, and the teacher who either already has a classroom lab or who is interested in setting up a lab. Classroom-ready lesson plans, handouts, and software will be included.
This course was a nice success last summer, so I thought that I would offer it again. To see more details about this course, please check out my website. If you are a NJ elementary music teacher who is interested in integrating technology into your current curriculum, I hope that you will consider this class as an opportunity for a meaningful professional development.
If this is not the course for you for one reason or another, but you are interested in a music technology course for music educators, then I highly recommend checking out TI:ME’s summer workshops. They have a variety of course offerings from basic music technology to more focused studies such as notation software, music production, digital audio, and others, in various states and distance learning. Having earned my TI:ME certification levels 1 and 2, I can tell you first-hand that these courses are excellent and are taught by highly qualified TI:ME certified instructors.
If you have any questions about my course or the TI:ME courses, please feel free to contact me.
