1. Viewing the standard for music, there seems to be a recent addition of technology objectives to the classroom, where it encourages students to create a performance/composition using a DAW or program. I believe this is a standard that can easily be implemented, given the class has access to the necessary equipment(preferably a computer room). With my knowledge of DAW tools, I will be equipped to instruct the class about the basics of music-making.

2. For 8th grade resources related to music, there are many well defined objectives listed. I’ve decided to click on resources for benchmark MU.68.C.1.2, where more than 40 related courses presented themselves as helpful guides. The Music Theory I course features a generous body of resources which touches on helpful and interesting topics such as the incorporation of musical video games(staff wars) and interactive demonstrations. I could definitely use “staff wars” to help students with sight-reading. However, the amount of research remains extremely limited, and is often supplemented by objectives from other subject areas. The teacher will have to make up his/her own curriculum for the most part 

3. There is a lot of work towards creating a colorful yet concise newsletter which conveys information to the reader. The main skills I’ve acquired are not only ideas related to design, but also digital communication skills, which I think is crucial to the modern classroom. I would like to improve on the symmetry of my future newsletter, since the portions aren’t exact, making it somewhat awkward to read.

  Looking through the syllabus, there seems to be a lot of practical usage of technology in conjunction with classroom teaching. It includes elements of design, presentation and interactivity which are all important assets in 21st century instruction. I mainly hope to explore new ways I could interact with my class via technology, in a concise and accessible manner. With the class schedule and syllabus online, students will have much less confusion navigating through the course material. Starting in middle school, I was encouraged to use technology in the classroom in order to gain more access to different forms of information. In 7th grade, I used blogger.com to keep a portfolio of all my written work including essays and reviews. I was fortunate enough to have my blog showcased at a school event to many school visitors.  Since I am a music major, my professional network is tied closely to the music community. I visit many sites which are related to music composition since th...

  I’ve discovered a few new things about web design features including inserting a calendar and pdf document into the slide. I’ve also found ways to make the site more interactive using social icons, as well as relevant images.  I like Weebly for its easy navigation and the many custom features it provides, differing from WIX quite a bit. The most important thing I dislike about this program is the fact that I can’t verify myself to get in.   There are many ways a teacher could use a QR code including for access to class content, contact information or activities. A lot of teachers tend to use QR codes for activities like kahoot or quizizz, so students can have an easier time joining.   https://fsu.padlet.org/ik23/eme2040-generative-ai-cases-idam-kim-s0efwkvgnifw90rg/wish/lkROZPk598v3QjMg Chatgpt ironically gives a good guide to ethical use of AI and technology, both for students and teachers. In regards to teaching music, It touches upon points such as copyrigh...
