This generation is called by many names, but one thing is undeniable: today’s student is quite different from those of the past.
When it comes to technology, the student knows more than the teacher. This backwards relationship causes frustration in many; they choose to “opt out” of technology instead of embracing it as a tool for becoming more effective.
The purpose of this presentation is to help today's music educator catch up to their students. By mastering these tools and strategies, today's music educator can become more proficient in critical aspects of their job:
● Communication with students, parents, and the local community
● organization and management of the choral program
● staying current in the profession

we brought the light of knowledge into their dark world\n
\n
there was an explosion of knowledge that changed everything\n
students could now get any fact at the click of a button\n\n
we weren’t in possession of every fact - technology changed everything\n
\n
there was a power shift in the classroom\n
and suddenly the student \n
knew more than the teacher\n
and it scared us to death\n
\n
our world has changed - and we better get used to it\n
\n
Mark Presnsky calls these students digital natives - technology is like air to them - they grew up in it and are extremely comfortable functioning in this new world of gadgets\n
we are the digital immigrants\n
we are coming to this new world late - and like most immigrants, we have a certain accent that is easily discernible to the digital native - it is an accent we are unlikely to shape and immediately perceptible to the digital native.\n
\n
when the student\n
knows more than the teacher\n

Their motto is “ideas worth spreading” and the website features brilliant people speaking in 18-minute segments about exciting developments in science, design, and the arts. \n\nThe goal of the foundation is to foster the spread of great ideas. \n \n\n
