11.0 Subject Specific Knowledge

Students must understand and demonstrate proficiency in building and
delivering technology enhanced curriculum that is content and grade level specific.


 
  11.1 List/Use technology resources to facilitate curriculum delivery where applicable and appropriate.

This entry is a lesson plan for middle grade general music students.

This particular lesson plan engages students in a hands-on instrument-making activity.  Students learn to make a variety of musical instruments from basic household items.

11.2 List/Use media and technology to present the subject so that it is comprehensible to others.

On numerous occasions I used audio recordings, and supplemental videos to present music to the students.

            The first link leads to the web page that describes the accompanying CD that correlates with the Essential Elements 2000 method book.  The students were able to listen to recordings while playing along.  The second link leads to a page that describes a four-part instructional video presented by well-known jazz trumpet player, Wynton Marsalis.  The videos are directed towards young musicians and general music students.

11.3 List/Use technology based tools that are specific to the content and grade level and that facilitate teaching strategies as available and appropriate.

            Use computers to participate in interactive games that correlate with content and grade level.

            This link will take you to a site that teaches music fundamentals such as theory, history, styles, professions, and instruments.
