From iPods to MIDI: Transform Learning through Music Technology

They're from a magnet school. She shared the classroom and it's very cool! Macs, keyboards, external drives. Our music teachers would be jealous.

Let's begin with 21st Century learniing- students working creatively, self directed, adaptable and accountable. This is true in the music classroom. What's different about these students?

Music and technology are a perfect marriage! Therese is suggesting http://ti-me.org/- the The Technology Institute for Music Educators.

They have some great resources.

There are 7 areas that Therese feels important:
electronic musical instrument
midi sequencing
music notation software
computer assisted instruction
multimedia & digitized media
internet & telecommunications
information processing, computer systems, & lab management

Notation: Finale or Sibelius, either one.

GarageBand- whether beginner or pro, they can go! Take a loop and add his own instrument. Podcasting. Look up Boys Night Out on their podcast.
