Technology Integration Plan

In Row 1 The Standards & Assessment is to access the students knowledge of the first five notes concert Bb,C,D,Eb, and F. The strategy is to remind them of the music staff/alphabet then focus on how their instruments play the first five notes. The purpose is to have them think critically, observe, absorb, comprehend, work alone and together to try to recall and make sense of what’s on the board. The Technology is used as references and guides to where the notes are on their instruments. In Row 2 The Standards & Assessment is identifying further, within some music, musical rhythm. The strategy is for the students to figure out what rhythmic value is being used throughout the exercises. The purpose is deciphering deciphering music concepts. The Technology is used as a reference; the essential elements book has all these pitches and rhythms defined either on the page the music they are learning or the page before. In Row 3 The Standards & Assessment refers to students creating an acronym so they will remember notes Bb,C,D,Eb, and F. The strategy is for creativity and innovation. This should help synthesis and collaboration skills. The Technology is used as a tool to demonstrate their acronym. In Row 4 The Standards & Assessment is for having students come up and decode where these notes are on the music staff. The strategy is students to come up and fill in the blank(with the acronym words) on the smart board and I check accordingly. The purpose is for synthesis of information. The Technology is used as tool to demonstrate. In Row 5 The Standards & Assessment is to identify and define this acronym of our new pitch and find them on the staff in out music as well begin looking at fingerings. The strategy is identifying and defining pitches and to look at our finger charts in essential elements 2000. The purpose is for students to begin transferring information onto their instruments. In Row 6 The Standards & Assessment is in regards to either a brave student or myself performing the music. The strategy is to have students try to perform. The purpose is analyzing their synthesis. The Technology is used as a medium for music In Row 7 The Standards & Assessment is to evaluate their fingering and note recognition. The strategy is to have students finger and say each pitch while I conduct. The purpose is class performance, note/fingering recognition. The Technology is used as visual aid. In Row 8 The Standards & Assessment is for students to perform now by blowing/actually playing their instruments. The strategy is performing. The purpose is to play the notes we have been working on. The Technology is used as a medium to perform and as a visual aid. In Row 9 The Standards & Assessment is to focus on the musicality of the students in terms of dynamics and articulation. The strategy is to demonstrate and have them demonstrate different dynamics and articulations. The purpose is musicality. The Technology is used to create music. In Row 10 The Standards & Assessment is after the students perform enough as a group I want students to perform alone. The strategy is to have students play by themselves or in a group of 2. The purpose is to create a safe environment and build confidence in students’ performance. The Technology is used for creating music and a visual aid. In Row 11 The Standards & Assessment is to identify and communicate to the students what is good and bad musically. The strategy is to observe, have them pick out what they did well and what needs improvement, they discuss it, I oversee. The purpose is to have them self evaluate, think critically about music, and communicate. In Row 12 The Standards & Assessment is have them categorize what needs improvement in musical terms. The strategy is to take what they described as needed improvement, put it into musical terms and have them think of how. The purpose is to have them self evaluate, think critically about music, and communicate. The Technology is used to play music and as a visual aid. In Row 13 The Standards & Assessment is to play again as a group and check if they indeed improved. The strategy is performance followed by guided analysis. The purpose is critical thinking, performance, and assessment. The Technology is used for creating music In Row 14 The Standards & Assessment is students perform independently. The strategy is performance. The purpose is to build confidence in performing and create music. The Technology is used for creating music and as a visual aid.

  1. Miguel, I appreciate your efforts to go really micro here. And your matrix is a valiant effort. With that said, the narrative is not as clear as it should be in terms of illustrating what SPECIFIC technologies you (and your students) are using to teach/learn. (You just reference, "The Technology" in your narrative, and that's too vague). Use the language in your matrix to explain. To be fair, you use numerous pedagogical terms, such as "performance," and "self-evaluate," and many more—which is very good. Yet, your logic gets muddied when you talk in terms of the "purpose." It's unclear where "purpose" fits in the equation of technology,strategies, and standards.
