Last Friday my students in the Sydney Conservatorium of Music’s Technology in Music Education course (from which my MOOC Music in 21st Century Education came) gave their Presentation of Learning. If you go to the Con’s Facebook page and scroll down to 18th November, you’ll see a series of “was Live” videos and can re-live the event!
In the course all students develop an online professional presence, and publish their thoughts and work to that website. Their major project is entirely student-negotiated, with the open task that they should explore a new technology or philosophy/pedagogy that was introduced in the course. In the following table I’ve listed every one of those projects, and links to their blogs on how they made them and what their thinking was. Many of them have shared these resources, so don’t just read – download and give them some feedback … they’d love that!
