Elementary Music/Music Technology Blog

I am excited to be presenting in Tampa, Florida for this year’s Florida Music Educators’ Association annual conference from January 6-9. I will be presenting two sessions on Friday, January 8. At 10:30 am I will be presenting “Podcasting in the Elementary Music Classroom.” This session will show participants how to podcast using three programs that could easily fit any elementary music budget: Audacity (freeware for PC and MAC), TrakAx (freeware for PC) and Apple’s GarageBand (MAC). I will also explore various ways to utilize podcasts that will easily benefit the elementary music curriculum.

At 4:00 I will be presenting “Technology Integration in the Elementary Music Classroom.” Whether a novice or advanced technology user, you will learn technology-enhanced lessons to use immediately in your classroom. DVDs and audio examples will be included to show how the lessons work successfully in the classroom. I will also feature material from Technology Integration in the Elementary Music Classroom, a publication from TI:ME (published in coordination with Hal Leonard). A copy of the book will be awarded to one participant at the end of the session.
