About Me.

I'm Callie Watson, I'm a Sophmore, Music Education major and plan on teaching music to little kids for as long as I can.My plan for using my degree has to do with private teaching violin lessons but I'm wondering if after I finish my degree I'll want to teach in a class room after that. I have been taking Foundations of Ed this semester and it has definitely wet my whistle for classroom teaching but for now I'd really just like to teach music privately.So since I'm not even sure if I'll have a classroom I'll just give you an overview of how I think I could use technology in a music classroom. I had never thought about how my orchestra teacher was using technology in our classroom before because I never saw it. But after taking the Foundations of Ed class I'm realizing that a teacher's life would never exist without technology today. So there are many ways to use it, to make your lesson plans, it's nice to use when you're traveling. But specific ways I could use it for music teaching are, There is a music data base full of music pdf's that I could listen to before I decided to buy them for the music library. Not to mention that a lot of conductor's these days are using Every Note.com for buying music. I can just see myself using technology to research pieces and composers before i choose them for my classroom to perform.
