Noteflight Project

Noteflight was indeed "specific" and "transparent," which are terms Bauer (2014) referenced, and could indeed be incorporated into my instruction with ease. Even with the shortcuts, however, I was simply destined to input every note singularly with methodical tedium. So, even though it is a very user friendly, "transparent" application, I will need further exploration to find shortcuts of my own. On a good note, I am very pleased to know I can use this on my iOS while I am on-the-go.

That being said, I was more at ease with MuseScore. Honestly, my preference may simply have been based on the the fact that I used MuseScore while the tutorial video was giving me step-by-step instructions to complete the assignment.

I am very pleased to have both Noteflight and MuseScore in my toolbox as future need for notation software arises. Here is my Noteflight project!

Online quizzes and assessments afford a vast number of conveniences to both the educator and the student. During...

Blog Post #5 Topic: Summarize and reflect on what you've learned this week. ------------------------------------             Technology as a music instructional aid is something I have always considered important.  As this course unfolds, however, I am beginning to understand it is no longer an aid, it is the new medium that textbooks, yearly trips to the Fabulous Fox and tape recorders used to be. The ability to listen to and assess and evaluate performance is an essential skill for students so they can become more productive and successful musicians. Technology has increased the opportunity to expose students to their own recordings and the recordings of others a thousand fold. Today, technology is the doorway to all the musical teaching tools music educators have organized access to for students, and the doors are many. Technology can certainly help accelerate the learning process of concepts such as performance eval...

Blog Post #6 Topic: Summarize and reflect on what you've learned this week. ------------------------------------             As we look towards the end of this class, it is time to take an in-depth look at our final project: the WebQuest. WebQuests, which are described as “inquiry-oriented activities in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet” were invented by Bernie Dodge and Tom March back in the mid-1990's. For our final project, we will be developing a WebQuest that we can use in our own classroom. Google Sites, the website building tool offered by Google, will be the accessible software used to create and share our project. https://sites.google.com/site/studentwebquesttemplate/             WebQuests consist of several main components. These components include an introduction, task, process, evaluation...
