Welcome! I'm Alison, and I am currently working on my Master's degree in Educational Media Design and Technology at Full Sail University. I am beginning my 13th year of teaching music at Nagel Middle School in Cincinnati, Ohio. I plan to use this blog as a means to discuss my professional interests, which are teaching, technology, and music.
In trying to come up with a "catchy" title for my blog, I was trying to think of a song that would encompass the topics I plan to blog about, and Technologic by Daft Punk immediately came to mind. Here are some of the lyrics:
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch - update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start - format it
To me, these lyrics epitomize 21st century thinking and learning. Through this blog I plan to share tools and ideas to enhance teaching and music education. I hope you will consider following my blog and check out the song!
