Chapter 13 Reflections
3 Things I learned:
Music production and music composition mean the same thing. Yet there are different technological programs that help with both, and each help with the music teaching. Different software’s help students compose music within the computer. Art instruction is also being intergraded into technology. There are sites via the web that teachers and students can visit to go on a virtual art field trip. Where the site will take the class on a journey throughout an art museum. This way the students can grasp a visual representation of the museum and the art work from around the world. For the students who like graphic web design, more and more sites are being offered for help with that.

2 Connections
In my classroom I can use the Picasa program that google has for a virtual art field trip of museums from around the world. I can use this in my classroom, for if we are studying a different place and it involves a piece of literature, the art trip with help the students get a visual representation of what it is like over there. For the music class, Mac’s garage band is helpful when making music within a classroom.
1 Question

Can I use these technologies in my classroom even though I am not a music teacher?
