We chatted about using many technological tools in the classroom to create certain projects. I was part of an inquiry-based project for two years called “Sulli Central”, which was my high school’s TV show. I was a segment director for the first year, and the show’s creative director for the second year. Apart from being the segment director, I was also a video editor, writer, sound and music producer for a show I created called “Prank Petroski.” I feel as if the show should speak for itself…
Attached is a playlist of my old TV show school series “Prank Petroski”.
Technology in the classroom can take all kinds of forms, including things like projectors, cell phones, laptops, and speakers. All of these technologies can be used to improve teacher instruction and increase student engagement. Hopefully these tools will only get more cost-effective so they can be accessible for all schools.
I think that one of the ways I can bring technology into the classroom is through using videos to present new material, scores, concerts, or other web-based resources. Another way I want to bring technology into my classroom is in the form of DAWs – Digital Audio Workstations. Lots of learners do not care about sitting in a band room reading notation and listening to a conductor. Instead, I would like to encourage them to work on their music making in an environment that works well for them.
Video and Audio technologies are present in every classroom. While they can be a distraction, I think that bringing some of these tools into my future class will improve my teaching ability and make the learning experience more enjoyable for my students.
