Projects

Projects all done by Katherine Agostini Social Media Plan: There are different types of social media that you can use in the elementary classroom, here are some of the ways I would use each type in my classroom: 1. Collaborative project- Google docs, wikis, Glogster--I would be able create a Google Doc that each of the students main teachers would write in each day to give me an idea of how the class is working that day. ie- talkative, bad, good, hyper 2. Blogs/Microblogs- twitter, Tumblr, blogger-This would help me keep in touch with the parents to let them know what is going on in the classroom. Whether it be blogger or Tumblr. 3.Content Communities- YouTube, Flickr, Prezi- I would be able to find videos, whether making my own, or finding them on youtube, and send them to the students to practice with. 4. Social Networking- Facebook, Myspace, chatter -I would be able to update the classroom Facebook page's status to correspond with what homework is due the next day or other important due dates. 5.Virtual Game Worlds - This is something that I would not use in my classroom.  6. Virtual Social Worlds- This is something that I would not use in my classroom.

Mobile Applications are becoming very useful in the classroom. In the music classroom you are able to have iPods in the classroom with theory calculator and mini pianos to help obtain the correct pitch whether when tuning a voice or an instrument.

Documents cameras can also be very useful in the classroom. When using a document camera in the music classroom, you can project a score and continue analyzing the music. In the past, teachers would have to hand write the music onto the board and it would take quite sometime. Now they can just project the score and write right on it.

In a music classroom, student response systems wouldn't be very helpful considering music is all about analyzing and more in depth things then just clicking a, b, c, or d.

During this semester I have found that my weakest NET-S standard is: Design and Develop Digital Age Learning/ Experiences and Assessment. This standard is about incorporating technology into the classroom. I am weak in it because I still believe in doing this hand on in my music class and don’t believe music can really use technology. At least in the elementary classroom. In secondary, you are able to use technology with things like intervals and chords and orchestration. But in elementary it is all about learning the actual instrument and the basics and you really need to do that with your own body. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I plan on working on this by looking for more technology with will help with the basics. I plan on expanding what I can teach in my elementary music classroom from just what i remember.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: center;">My lesson plan is designed to help the students understand what an accent is in music. This set of flashcards are to help children understand what accents are and how you are able to play accents with different rhythmic instruments. media type="custom" key="10843099" align="center"
