Ahh, now I'm feeling a bit better. First, I have to give a shout out to Rachel & Sami, two great people who gave me some very kind and needed words regarding my last post. Wow, it has been a busy week and I am so glad to be moving forward again. I can't even believe that I finally finished 555, which BTW was two classes ago. But, now we are on to new and hopefully a fun filled conclusion to this master's program.
I met with Louis for the second time and I am much more excited about the progress that has been made this last week. I have started putting my project together in SMART notebook and although it is currently ideas all over the place, it will eventually turn into 6 main music lessons (two total for this project), and all will be interactive on the SMART Board, and have assessments at the using the interactive smart response units - at my school we call them SRUs for short.
I am really getting into this project and enjoying creating these different lessons. So far, it has been time consuming because I am also learning some of these techniques as I go, but I'm getting good ideas from colleagues from around the world. I am a member of a Facebook group dedicated just to Band Teachers. I contacted a few people and they were able to give me some ideas on what to create and what they have used that has worked well and what hasn't. It was a great interaction with teachers that I have never met, probably never will, but were discussing some very positive things.
I see the end...but I'm not there yet.
