For the next three days I am teaching a TI:ME 1B course at Suitland High School in Maryland. If you have never taken a TI:ME course and would like to learn more about integrating technology into your current music curriculum, then I highly encourage to to take one of their numerous workshops. When I acquired a music lab at my school, I did not know a thing about music technology because when I graduated college, it was just beginning to take off, but it was not a requirement for a music education degree. That has changed in the last decade. When I needed to understand and learn how to integrate technology into the music classroom, I began taking the TI:ME workshops with such experts and leaders of music technology such as Dr. Scott Watson and Dr. Tom Rudolph.
The TI:ME 1B course is one of my favorite courses because as a participant you get to audition numerous educational music programs, educational music websites, create a podcast, a blog, a website, and further your knowledge of powerpoint. As a teacher of this course, you get to show the participants how to create and use all of these applications so that they are applicable to their classroom settings.
A blog was created for the course so that the participants could answer a question about the topics we covered that day in class. Please check out the blog at: http://suitland.musiced.net/
I will also continue blogging on this site 2-3 times a week throughout the summer. I sincerely hope that you will keep reading and leave comments about how your summer is going!
