Music Technology and Supervision
MUSIC TECHNOLOGY
Grant Proposal Project
The course "Technology
for Music Teaching" introduces the music professional to
a wide array of technology resources that are available to enhance
both the productivity of the music teacher and the educational experience
of their students. One of the projects students of
this class are asked to design is a Music Technology Grant Proposal.
The students are given a "fictional budget" and are asked to write a
grant using the skills that they have previously gained through
their coursework in the class. Creating this proposal not only
gives the learners valuable experience in writing grants for their
own teaching situations, but also asks them to think creatively in
designing a curriculum that takes advantage of several of the
technologies that have been explored in previous classroom lessons.

Powerpoint
Another part of the
technology journey that students undertake is an introduction to (or
further study of) designing Powerpoint presentations. Students
utilize MS Powerpoint and learn how to manipulate not only
the program, but also video files, audio files, pictures, and other media that make the program
a valuable vehicle for
presentations. Below is an example of a student Powerpoint
project that was used in presenting an assigned technology reading.
MUSIC SUPERVISION
SCRIBE Project
Students in this course
learn various observation techniques to advance their knowledge of
supervising music teachers at all levels. One project in this
course involves reviewing music student teacher teaching episodes
(videotaped) and developing a computerized observation template for
use with this "fictional" student. The project allows for a
simulated supervision opportunity for class members. For the
project, class members were requested to submit not only the
computerized data they have captured during the observation process,
but also their reflections about the experiences of using this
observation system. Click the link below for an example of one
such project.
