How+I'll+Reach+My+Goal+for+2011

My Main goal for this semester is to use music to teach lessons in a new innovative way using technology according to the NETS standard. Children need stimulation and excitement that go with their learning experiences, so they will want to learn more. Music makes everything fun, and a catchy tune can help with learning something new. New technology and programs have made music more accessible. Instead of using multiple CDs and a stereo, I can use one source, an ipod. Instead of searching in the stores I can find free music online. Furthermore if I can not find it online I have the ability to create music with technology. These are some ways I plan on reaching this goal.
 * use itunes and youtube to find existing songs and or videos that can go along with the lesson plan.
 * use PowerPoint to to show clips and create interactive games.
 * use GarageBand to create any type of song needed, and even get the students in on it by editing them into it.

Those are my ideas so far, and I am really excited. When I think of more I will add them to the list.
