Music and Technology in the Classrooom
Hi,
My name is Laurin Daniels and I am a senior Music Education major at Appalachian State University. I am currently involved in a research project with a faculty member seeking answers to how to teach the upcoming students in 2010, 2015, 2020 and beyond. We are researching generational gaps, new technologies, changing learning styles etc. We at the Hayes School of Music would love your input on your teaching styles, technology use, and your observations of today’s and tomorrow’s students. If you’ve got a few minutes and don’t mind responding to a survey (about 10 minutes), your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Please follow the below link
Thank you so much,
Laurin Daniels
