Extractions: Maintaining the Integrity of a Web-Based Music Course The initial question for us was: Is it possible to adapt an existing, traditionally delivered music course to an Internet delivery modality? The course we needed to put on the Internet, "General Music for Children," posed several unique challenges. The skills desired and included in the traditional course go way beyond the acquisition of knowledge to the demonstration of basic musical skills. For example, in the traditional course-delivery mode, each student claps and verbalizes rhythms, as well as prepares and teaches a music lesson all under the watchful eye of the professor. In addition, the actual delivery of musical concepts via the new mode posed a challenge. How could we include the traditional on-campus professor demonstrations over the Internet? Would we be able to include the same or similar activities? Could we maintain the high intellectual integrity of the course and deliver it via the Internet? The Traditional Course In order to develop an understanding of the challenges that we confronted, first let us briefly look at the traditional on-campus music course. The course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the elements of music. This is accomplished through a basic acquisition of knowledge and a demonstration of certain musical skills. The course covers each of the four basic elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony and form.

Extractions: Lesson Planning to Develop Higher Order Thinking Skills Research and Teaching "It may be dangerous to teach as you were taught." This may be a typical quotation - but Harry and Rosemary Wong included it in their book - First Days of Schoo l as a warning to those who think they can jump right into the classroom and teach exactly as they were taught in years past. The following includes some additional ideas from that book - which I highly recommend for great ideas on classroom management and organization for the new teacher! Reflect on your own experience. How were you taught? Think back at your experiences through primary and secondary school? How about college? Did you spend much of your time memorizing facts and preparing for tests? What experiences supported the most "enduring" knowledge you have acquired today? Were you taught to think critically? What was your most effective mode of learning? Who was your most effective teacher? Why? What influence did that teacher have on you as a student? "Education must bring the practice as nearly as possible to the theory."

Which will prevail is affected by many factors, such as personal values, consumer acceptance, patent laws, the availability of risk capital, the federal budget, local and national regulations, media attention, economic competition, and tax incentives. In deciding on proposals to introduce new technologies (colonizing Mars) or to curtail existing ones, some key questions arise concerning alternatives, risks, costs, and benefits. What alternative ways are there to achieve the same ends, and how do the alternatives compare to the plan being put forward? Who benefits and who suffers? What are the financial and social costs, do they change over time, and who bears them? What are the risks associated with using (or not using) the new technology, how serious are they, and who is in jeopardy? What human, material, and energy resources will be needed to build, install, operate, maintain, and replace the new technology, and where will they come from? How will the new technology and its waste products be disposed of and at what costs?
