With this class being specifically designed for the purpose of furthering
the use of technology in music education, I found it appropriate to do a PLN
this week on a foundation who's purpose is to integrate music technology
into the classroom. This foundation would be SoundTree. Specializing
in integrating all aspects of technology into the classroom, SoundTree provides
"advice, planning, sales, complete installation services, staff training
and after-purchase support." The website contains lesson plans, lab
curriculums, articles, as well as key information on how to find
and acquire grants. What more could a music teacher ask for?
In this day and age, it is crucial for music
teachers to venture into the realm of technology. However, many do
not even know where to begin. By turning to organizations such as this to find
different aspects and curriculums one could use teachers may begin to embrace
technology, rather than shun it.
This sounds great! I'm not the most technologically savvy, and this site seems like a great and simple way for music teachers to integrate technology into the classroom. I also love the section on grants- very useful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great resource! Thank you for providing the link. You are clearly thinking ahead as a teacher, and it's great that you seem willing to embrace the use of technology in your future classroom.
