(Prerequisites: CLIA and Arts Assessment Institute I Classroom Assessment)

This course will enable certified K–12 South Carolina public school music teachers to use technology in their classes and as a tool in teaching the South Carolina Academic Standards for the Visual and Performing Arts—General Music. Each participant will be provided with appropriate equipment, a computer, and software that will become the property of their schools at the end of the institute. All participants must hold music degrees and be certified to teach music by the SCDE.

Participating teachers will

• assemble and disassemble a multimedia workstation with a computer, speakers, and a keyboard;
• complete self-paced learning modules that use music notation software, sequencing software, tutorial software, video, and Web applications appropriate to each teacher’s teaching situation;
• develop lesson plans that use technology to teach the 2010 South Carolina Academic Standards for the Visual and Performing Arts using the CLIA Lesson Plan format; and research best assessment practices and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the classroom and large-scale assessment practices.
