A Small Break
So as of now, I have a small break from my daily routine of Student Teaching and such... It's February break for students, which in turn means, a break for teachers. As a music educator, it's been quite an experience teaching and observing in an assortment of schools with extremely diverse music programs. With that said, having this small break has given me the time and opportunity to expand upon different activities and engagements that I would like to implement in some of my classroom environments. Having this time of course is also a small slice of rest and relaxation that is highly needed!

ReplyDeleteAs a music educator, I believe it is important for us to embrace the many different technological resources that our students most likely use day in and day out. In today's world, such technology is constantly utilized to create and produce music by anyone and almost everyone. For our students, it is a means for them to have access to making and producing music that represents culture, personal, and emotional ideas and themes of which they exhibit.

ReplyDeleteIn many schools, technology and music have become two entities that go hand in hand. Technological resources and various software programs have been utilized to better acquaint students with how they can experience music and of course, make music in other unique ways. In my opinion, integrating this kind of technology into everyday curriculum can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. Technology should not become the only contemporary or engaging way to get students hooked onto the idea of making music in their schools; it should be used as an added source but not implemented for the sake of doing away with other methods and means.
