Resources

This week we worked on our our resource list for helpful websites that we would use in our future music classrooms. Although I have now have had prior experience with wikis and how to properly upload a file, I've never had the experience using google doc where all members can type and edit our own page. I've never done an assignment where we used a google doc to upload a resource list for a group.

For the resource assignment I was able to discover good resources that I can use in my classroom that I had never thought about using. I really liked learning how to use a google doc! It was very easy and I was able to see what each website was like in the description. I also learned how to paraphrase my website to help make it short and sweet so that the student may get an idea of what the website is like.

Finally I would use this in my classroom for group projects. I think it would be a good idea to have students research websites and put them up on a google doc to help them do research on an important time era in music. Other than this I'm not really sure how to use this in my classroom because unfortunately and honestly there is not enough time for students to do projects like this because students have to reach a certain level in their playing in such a short period of time. There really isn't any time for any of these kinds of projects. I'm hoping that this will change to help enrich student's experiences but I've never seen a music classroom that has time for things of this nature which is very sad.
