In music education, classes are designed to embrace the national standards centered around student performance. Which makes it difficult to embrace technology to collaborate, create, and connect with students and full fill other national standards. This session will feature three different free technologies that educators can directly use in their classroom with students at all grade levels. First, we’ll explore Chrome Music Lab's ‘experiments’ and then learn how to use them to create improvisation and composition lessons. Secondly, we’re going to look at three different methods of adding audio to Google Slides and how they can be used to create a collaborative audio lesson with students. Finally, we are going to finish with a look at using the Google Chrome extension - Music Snippet to insert music notation into Google Docs or Slides.
Music educators, instructional coaches, and other specialists will enjoy an interactive and hands-on approach to these technology tools and leave with practical and direct applications for the classroom. Audience members will need a laptop or tablet to participate. All other materials will be provided to them in the clinic.
