Elementary Music/Music Technology Blog

With summer vacation approaching, here is another idea that would count as professional development:

This summer, I have the privilege of teaching “Integrating Technology into the Elementary Music Classroom: A Course For Elementary  Teachers Taught By An Elementary Teacher” at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). I have fond memories of of CCSU as I spent 6 summers there earning my Masters of Science in Music Education. The course will be offered from July 6-July 10. The course description is as follows: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 from 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.
