Overview
One of the greatest challenges we have in music education lies in bridging successful models of teaching and learning from the past with new models that address the digital age we live in. How can contemporary music educators effectively leverage today’s technology to create relevant learning experiences that mirror students’ daily lives and the reality of their futures while continuing to provide them with well-balanced, comprehensive and high-quality music instruction? This immersive week seeks to address this question and will delve into myriad ways the effective use of technology tools, coupled with thoughtful teaching strategies, can be used to increase student engagement, foster a creative spirit, and provide authentic assessment to improve learning outcomes.
Special topics will address curriculum design and best practices in the music and ensemble classrooms, as well as instructional technology, music creation, media content creation, and assessment tools. There will be ample time for exploration, sharing of ideas, as well as opportunities for developing new curriculum material to bring into your teaching.
Regardless of your discipline or skill level, it is important for all music educators to be well-informed about how technology can, and is, being used to support teaching and learning across the K-12 music education spectrum. This three-credit symposium is open to all K-12 music educators. Just bring your laptop or Chromebook, along with your experience and enthusiasm!
