With so many ideas, options and tools, deciding what technology to incorporate into your music classroom can be a challenge. Utilizing Web-Based Tools in the Music Classroom will cover a range of web-based tools that are specific for music education or can be used by music teachers to make their teaching more effective and efficient. You will walk away with usable lesson plans that incorporate the tools discussed, as well as ideas and strategies for incorporating technology into a music classroom more broadly.
Student learning objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to
