BLiME+DAY+3

 * BLiME DAY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 **

On this third day of BLiME participants continue to explore blended learning tools and the framework for building a course or unit using a blended learning approach.

Today we'll also discuss the usefulness of a "detailed syllabus" in planning and organizing a course or unit that will employ a blended learning approach. CLICK HERE for an example of a detailed syllabus I have used. Compare this detailed syllabus (created before populating the course wiki) with the content actually posted/hosted in one of the chapters of the wiki: PHS Music Theory 2.


 * TRIAL PROJECTS with Blended Learning Content Creation Tools **

Each day throughout the course we'll engage in using some of the great "content creation tools" (mostly web-based) that might be employed when using a blended learning approach for a music course or unit. Your instructor will guide you through these mini projects/activities. Your grade for each is participation (did you accomplish the task or not).

**Reading for Day 4:** Read Chapter 8 in the text ("Choose the Model") for in-class discussion tomorrow.

Also on DAY 3 or 4, we'll discuss the ** FINAL PROJECT ** for the course.


 * DISCUSSION QUESTIONS **

At the conclusion of DAY 3 we are past the midpoint of the course. Our discussion question today simply asks for your feedback on the following items:
 * 1) Of the things presented thus far in class, what are the most exciting and/or potentially useful to you in your teaching? If none, explain why.
 * 2) What items (tech tools, resources, etc.) do you wish we could spend more time learning about in the remaining days?
 * 3) What questions, if any, do you have about using a blended learning in music education approach?
