A lesson focusing on composition, form, and evaluation through a group compositional project using collected samples of "found sounds".
The following lesson plans each highlight a different tech resource as well as a different level of the SAMR model. These lessons are to be viewed as examples for how to integrate various tech tools into the elementary music classroom experience in an engaging and meaningful way. The lessons can and should be adjusted to fit a teacher’s particular learning environment: number of devices, number of students, and abilities and learning styles of students.
Although each lesson makes use of a different technology resource, the main focus of the tech-minded music educator should be the learning processes, student learning objectives, and musicianship skills and tasks associated with each lesson. With this in mind, each lesson includes a checklist of related 2014 Music Standards by NAfME (National Association for Music Education), a list of behavior objectives, links to assessments, technology tips, and possible extensions.
