Technology in Music Education free Presentation of Learning
James Humberstone
Dear all,
You are cordially invited to our fourth annual Presentation of Learning for our Technology in Music Education course! It will be held in the Music Café at the Sydney Con, 6pm to 9pm, this Friday 24th November.
Tickets are FREE and refreshments are even included! Just book yours here so we know the numbers in advance: http://bit.ly/2mLASSd
Students have spent the semester studying technologies, especially music technologies, and associated emerging pedagogies. Their final projects are open choice, and an opportunity to explore one technology in more detail, or to create new digital teaching and learning materials. This year’s projects include:
- A number of interactive eBooks, both fiction and non-fiction/tutorial
- A virtual reality tour of the Con
- Virtual Korean instruments and associated unit of work to study Music of Another Culture
- An original pop song with music video, and a vlog that shows what a week in the life of a Con Music Ed student is like
- A series of pedagogical websites from teaching dance in the music classroom to the simplest guides ever to basic music tech
- Coding ideas with free software… and more!
We will also have project tables set up for hands-on exploring so you don’t just have to watch and listen!
- Build your own synth
- Remixing with Launchpad
- Makey makey fun and games
Presentations will be rolling on stage over the evening, and also at tables (however students feel they can best present their projects). Composer, technologist and educator Adrian Kingwell will speak to the student work, and MusicEdNet are offering a prize to the project that includes the opportunity to present it in the DAYTiME 2018 conference!
I hope to see many of you there.
With warm wishes,
James

I would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which we meet – the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. It is upon their ancestral lands that the University of Sydney is built.
As we share our own knowledge, teaching, learning, and research practices within this University may we also pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country.
