Responding to Music with Technology

In this highly technological world it is becoming more important every day to stay ass up to date as possible with the technology associated with your professional field. The more skilled an individual becomes in technology related to his or her field the easier things can be accomplished. This is no different in the music education field. This is true in every aspect from creating, rehearsing and even performing the music that is being taught.

This week in Technology Assisted Music Learning the focus was mainly about using technology to respond to music. A program was to be arbitrarily selected, reviewed and evaluated based on 6 criteria read about in the text.

Ø  Citation and General Information

Ø  Teacher Support

Ø  Instructional Content

Ø  Instructional Design and Pedagogical Soundness     

Ø  Record Keeping

Ø  Overall Evaluation.

This information can be found:
Bauer, W. I. (2014). Music learning today: Digital pedagogy for creating, performing, and                    responding to music. New York, NY: Oxford University Press.

Social Bookmarking Project

Social bookmarking is a very organized and time saving method to look up music education resources that may useful for teaching purposes. As I completed this assignment I found web resources that will definitely be useful for my instructional and motivational purposes; especially for encouraging efficient practicing. The software to make the social aspect of bookmarking is Diigo. Here you can learn more about Diigo and sign up for an account:

Zaption

Zaption was used mainly for a listening exercise that would have students more interactive with than just listening. I do feel in the future I can use for other purposes than just lecturing to students on different topics. Topics like the history of the steel pan or how the pan is made. This is where you can get started with Zaption: http://www.zaption.com/tours
