One Week Left! Come study with me @ Villanova July 17-21!

This summer I am teaching a week-long course for the UArts Summer Music Studies program at Villanova University titled Utilizing Web Based Tools in the Music Classroom. Here is the course description:

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 be a survey course covering 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. Participants 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.

This is NOT a how to use MusicFirst tools course - it is broad in scope and looks at all of the resources and tools that are available online - both free and low-cost - that music teachers can use to enhance their instruction. It should be a LOT of fun. I have taught summer courses at Villanova in the past for the University of the Arts, and I really enjoy the environment - especially being surrounded by music educators who are committed to professional development.

There are a limited number of places available but registration ends on July 1st, so do it now! If you’d like more information, including how to register and how much the course costs, visit the UArts Summer Music Studies website, click on the Explore and Register link, and then search for MTEC*635-01. I hope to see you there!
