The invitation was pure gold; the elementary music department asked for an hour of my time on the inservice day, to teach them about new technologies that they could use in their instruction. What tech coordinator would turn down an opportunity to work with the willing?<\/span><\/p>\n

I really struggled with the agenda. It wasn’t a how-to session, but I knew that getting them actively involved would be more engaging and more powerful. However I only had an hour before they had to rush off campus for an inservice in Little India.

I was tempted to show them Animoto, but it is so slow that I had to give up that idea. I also decided to steer away from good music websites since they are skilled at finding those on their own.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I started the inservice telling the music teachers, that I knew lots of tech tools that could enhance their curriculum, but I didn’t know how to teach music. It was up to them to find ways to make use of these tools as they saw fit. To my delight, they did that all hour. In the end, here was my agenda. In green I’ll give a quick explanation of what was discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n
