Now, I know from personal experience that the thought of creating a musical
composition can overwhelm a “purr”son. (Oops!) In the past, I have tried too hard
and nothing musical ever developed. So, since Al is a relaxed and laid-back composer,
I will follow his example and listen for musical ideas in the world around me.

Now after this mornings shower, I heard the annoying but rhythmic beat from my leaking bathroom faucet. In the kitchen, the whirring and pulsing sounds of the food blender were jazzy and invigorating. When turning on the TV, the first few notes that I heard became the beginning of a song. Fire engines and ambulance provided ALARMING possibilities. At last I was composing!!

This paragraph fits very nicely into a Unit I always did in the F2F environment in 6th grade called Found Sounds. This might tie nicely to a F2F experience the students could have with composing in the classroom as a precursor to composing in their Software program.

Agency and activity are required to thrive in a semi-autonomous learning environment mainly distributed on the Cloud, outside the scope of institutional educational support. It was clear from the research that learners have their own ideas on what type of activities would suit them, their life styles and their confidence levels, and the majority chose to be involved in aggregating, ‘remixing’ and sharing of information, without getting involved in the creative production stage. However, the majority of participants believed that the creative production of digital artifacts by some learners, and the discussions that followed on the network, inspired them in the development of ideas and in their learning.

Self-Directed Learning for Middle School Students - 0 views
-
I am inspired to construct a customized curriculum unit combining years of teaching experience with research studies based in theories of philosophy of learning, educational psychology, and cognitive psychology that is intended to help students become self-regulated learners. Educational research lends relevant information useful to understanding why our middle school students show such a decline in performance and motivation, and how we can fix it.

This allows us to examine changes in difficulty and identify current strengths and weakness. Most students are pleased to see how well they can perform on both tests, even if their results on the grade-level test were below passing.
