MUS 620 - Instructional Technology in Music (3)


This course is designed for practicing music teachers to learn and develop their skills in using technology that enhances the teaching and learning of music.  A primary emphasis of the course will be to develop students’ Musical Technological Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (M-TPACK) in the use of both laptops and in using mobile devices such as iPads.  The technology focus will include personal learning networks (PLNs), music notation software, MIDI, digital media, online resources, technology-assisted assessment tools and mobile devices.

Students will identify a myriad of technological tools available for instruction and assessment in music education.  Students will develop an awareness of their current strengths and weakness with regards to M-TPACK.  Students will be able to create unit lesson plans that will incorporate a variety of technology-assisted tools that will enhance student learning and assessment.  Students will be able to demonstrate uses of technology for creating personal learning networks (PLN) and music compositions/arrangements.
