Subject: RE: Technology, Education, & Discerning sounds
I'm a music teacher who has resisted the move to technology in my program, and I'm not being pushed by any administrators, thank goodness.
Computer technology has changed our world, it's true, but I agree that it has little or no place in the elementary school classroom.

And in the music classroom, the kids should be (and in my case, are) singing, dancing, playing a wide variety of acoustic classroom instruments, keeping the beat, and experiencing music to the fullest, not letting the electronic screen feed the info into just a limited portion of the brain.
