Welcome to MusicEdTech!

Coming to you from...

VANDERCOOK COLLEGE OF MUSIC

(right across the street from the home of the world's finest baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. Ok... at least the city's finest!)

This is a wiki site that we will use as a home base for our coursework this summer. It will incorporate several examples of the technology we will learn to use and integrate into our teaching in a meaningful way.

You're probably interested in seeing the syllabus for this course. Ok, here it is!

Here is a list of all of the great blogs you've started to create!

Best wishes to you this summer, and beyond, of course! I'm looking forward to working with all of you!

Time To Play!

Some of you asked for online music resources. Here they are. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE log in to add your own links to the list. The power of Web 2.0 and technology like wikis is to be able to share information. I'm sure you have your favorite sites too!

Final Presentations Information

A couple thoughts about the presentation...

Presentations will be the last week of the course (not next Tuesday and Thursday). If someone wants to present early, they're welcome to.
The following link was a separate assignment once upon a time. It may be helpful for you to incorporate some of the ideas/questions from this assignment into your presentation.
Time limits say 5-10 minutes in length. I would think it would be longer than 5 minutes, but please don't go much more than 10 minutes... 15 max.

The survey we took the other day is hosted on group-surveys.com. It's really useful, and free! I've also used polldaddy.com and several other sites. Do a Google seach for "free survey".

I've started updating the 'Notes' section of this site with a summary of what we've been doing, as well as important 'Stuff to Know'.

Some links to some sample audio to use today:

Germany/Spain Tour

Jazz in the Park

What follows below is the beginnings of a list of items that you'll hopefully find interesting as the course goes along. Rather than remove it until we get there, I'll peak your interest a bit...

Where to find Mr. Jakes! (You'll hear me talk about him a lot this summer, and he's not even paying me to do so!)

Dave Jakes is doing some wonderful things with educational technology. Here's a direct link to some of his resources... basically rendering me unimportant and useless to you...
