5. Music, education, intelligence
Organized music lessons appear to benefit children's IQ
and academic performance--and the longer the
instruction continues, the larger the effect, according to
a study published in the May issue of the Journal of
Educational Psychology (Vol. 98, No. 2).
Munsey, C. (2006). Music lessons may boost IQ and grades.
American Psychological Association, 37(6), 13.
Schellenberg, E. G. (2011); Kaviani, et al. (2014).
Music instruction must be delivered in such a way that music is defined and understood as a discrete,
valid, and tangible way of knowing and learning within the literacy mandate. While the established
"core" areas of language, math, social studies and science provide important knowledge bases for any
musician, success in music will not be found through the exclusive study of literacy in those areas.

7. Technological Pedagogical Content
Knowledge (TPAK) framework
Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge
(TPACK) is a framework that identifies the
knowledge teachers need to teach effectively with
technology.
The TPACK framework extends
Shulman’s idea of
Pedagogical Content
Knowledge.

8. Quizzes to test, and quizzes to train
http://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2016/04/13/testing-effect/
http://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2016/04/14/change-teaching/
This phenomenon — testing yourself on an idea or
concept to help you remember it — is called the
“testing effect” or “retrieval practice.” People have
known about the idea for centuries. Sir Francis
Bacon mentioned it, as did the psychologist William
James. In 350 BCE, Aristotle wrote that “exercise in
repeatedly recalling a thing strengthens the
memory.”
But the testing effect had been mostly overlooked
in recent years.

And Recitals. American Music Teacher, 64(6), 10-13.
In the world of music education, teachers are adapting
to current trends by using social media, educational
apps and mobile devices to enhance student learning
experiences.
10. Share our experience with the pedagogical implications
11. Pedagogy: engagement, understanding
Publisher textbook
Supplies quizzes.
Text-based quizzes – 15-20 per chapter
Multiple choice
T/F
Reference to audio excerpts provided on a CD
D2L quizzes
Use Respondus for MS Word files.
Only multiple choice could be imported straight from the MS Word file to D2L
T/F questions had to be manually handled
MediaSpace code copied and pasted in D2L for questions with audio excerpts
MediaSpace
Upload files from CD and process them (tag them)
Publisher material, D2L and MediaSpace made questionable if working on more engaging content
is worth the time and efforts.

the Graduate Level in Hong Kong Higher Education. Asia Pacific Education Review, 8(1), 12–26.
14. Main findings regarding technology:
D2L is not a good platform to administer multimedia education, being that quizzes or
training quizzes
Either D2L or the abilities of LAN (Local Area Network), or both, are not up to the task of
delivering multimedia content to students.
MediaSpace, AKA Kaltura has a long way to go, before it start rivaling the quality of
YouTube.
Good multimedia repertoire must not be confined to the MnSCU-approved tools, such
as D2L and MediaSpace.
The use of third party, free tools, such as Kahoot, podcasts, Facebook groups and similar
social media, offers alternative to backup often failing technology and offer
opportunities, which MnSCU tools do not.
Publishing houses have a long way to go, before faculty is satisfy with their output.
Respondus still does not crunch T/F question, same goes for multimedia
