      It is imperative that integrating technology into the music classroom be aligned with the MENC Standards.
  • Immediately following the release of the National Standards for Music Education in 1994, MENC--The National Association for Music Education released Opportunity-to-Learn Standards for Music Instruction as a guide to what schools should provide to help students achieve both the National Standards for Music Education in grades K-12 and the MENC prekindergarten music education standards. MENC recommends that states either adopt these opportunity-to-learn standards or use them as a basis for developing their own. The standards challenge all who are committed to high-quality music instruction to work together to improve the teaching and learning of music in the nation's schools. The writers of the opportunity-to-learn standards were well aware that new technologies have an impact on the ways schools deliver music instruction. Throughout the text of those standards, there are references to computers, software, MIDI equipment, CD-ROMs, and other resources that are important to the world of the music teacher, as well as essential to the world of music outside the classroom. In the years since the publication of the opportunity-to-learn standards, technologies useful for music education (as for all education) have grown more capable, more varied, simpler to use, and certainly more ubiquitous.

    This Website describes the technology integration at Stephen Decatur Elementary School in grades K-6.Its purpose is to inform professional elementary school teachers about how to integrate technology into most subject areas.In my opinion, it is simplistic and doesn't address higher order thinking skills. It is still old fashioned in that the lessons are mostly drill and practice without many chances for openended problem solving. There are no conclusions or results as this is just a basic page for displaying what one school uses in its technology curriculum. The site describes applications used. It doesn't list correlations to curriculum or standards.

    Amy Burns gives her professional opinion on whether or not children in the younger grades benefit from using technology in the music room. Her opinion is yes and she bases it on her experiences using MENC standards and the keyboard lab with Soundtree technology installed in a lab at her Far Hills Country Day School.The article was written for professional general music teachers.She learned along with her students which gave them something in common. She concluded that using technology, especially composition, excited them and made them sucessful. There were accompanying links on the page which added to her conclusions.

      The Smarboard can transform how lessons in elementary schools enable engaged learning for students.
  • Smart and Getting Smarter- This site provides ideas to maximize SmartBoards as interactive hands-on, minds-on technology tools to support students as they demonstrate what they know in multiple ways. It provides an overiew and lesson activities and interactive sites in math, science, social studies, humanities, language arts and early learning.
  • Using Electronic Whiteboards in Your Classroom -This site provides ideas, lesson plans, and websites for using the SmartBoard in the classroom. This site is divided by content area.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Sequencing with a SmartBoard- In this lesson, students will be assembled into groups of three or four. Students will be responsible for reading a selected picture book, identifying six main ideas from the text, and mixing the main events into an unorganized list. Student groups will then record their unorganized lists into the SMARTBoard notebook software. Once all groups have entered their list, student groups will receive a different group’s book and their created list. Students will organize the new list of main events, and using the Smart Ideas Software or concept mapping software, create a concept map of the assigned story and events.
  • SmartBoard Lessons Podcast Collection -The purpose of this site is to accompany a free podcast that focuses on using SMART Boards in the classroom. Each episode will feature a lesson, a podcast, and user comments. The hosts, Joan Badger and Ben Hazzard, have been recognized as Canadian & International Innovative Teachers by Microsoft, SMART Exemplary Educators, Peer Educators, Tradeshow Teachers, and Conference Presenters on the use of SMARTBoards in the classroom.

    Amphitheater Public Schools maintains this page as a resource for teachers who need a centralized place to come for learning the basics and techniques of using a Smartboard. It lists several sites that have pre-made compatible lessons in many subjects that can be addressed by students on the Whiteboard. There is a link to a Podcast collection which contains lessons, Smartboard Podcasts, and comments. It follows good educational pedogogy and utilizes lessons that stretch the imagination and gets students to think by acting and reacting with the Smartboard.

Be honest." Every hand in the room goes up. We know it as educators, kids know it as students. The presentation really is about finding information, putting it on some slides, add some transitions and then telling the rest of the class what it is you found. Then there is the audience who is suppose to take notes on the information. A.K.A. copy the bulletpoints in bulletpoint format onto a piece of paper. Because there is so much learning in copying words from the slide to paper....NOT......and of course as you are busy copying the words you're not listening to what the presenter is saying...not that it matters they're just reading the words off the slides anyway.

    A good review of Pecha Kucha and holding your audience's attention and also making the presenter's experience more enjoyable too. Definitely worth reading.
