Much of our learning this week solidified things that I was
already aware of. Backwards design for
instructional designs was a major component to our Instructional Design course
from earlier in the UF sequence.
Inclusion of AppleTV and Google technology in the music classroom is
something I’m familiar with how to deploy but haven’t yet done.
Copyright law, however, is something that I know a lot about
but wasn’t fully educated on until I did this week’s readings.
The Project Based Learning is something that I hope to
include more of in my band class as it ties in very well with our school’s Common
Intellectual Mission (and I commented on this in my discussion post). WebQuests, which are a form of PBL, have a
valuable place in the BCO classroom, and I’m hoping that I can develop a useful
one with my Holst Suite WebQuest that I’m doing for our class. I think the possibilities for deeper
understanding of our repertoire will be exceptionally valuable.
WebQuests and other projects are great way to give students a deeper understanding of the music without taking huge amounts of rehearsal time.
